Not yet bracketed (or genuinely unplaceable).

—

3cmc legendary Phyrexian Praetor. Triggered combat-damage reward: controller pays 1 life, draw a card (enables self-payoff or opp choice for mutual value). Activated mana sink: discard X, exile X cards from opp library, cast/play them. Signature in attack-focused midrange shells with recurring damage (combat triggers). Card-advantage and alternate mill-win conditions. Requires creature density and combat pressure to enable; self-discard cost requires hand density or discard outlets.
