Rationale
3cmc 2/2 legendary enchantment creature with first strike. EoT, pay {1} to deal X damage to target player/PW (X = # Shrines you control). Signature in shrine-matters decks as both a 2-power attacker and repeatable damage source scaling with shrine count. Can function in spellslinger/burn shells as repeatable burn tied to shrine density. Risks: requires Shrine density to deal meaningful damage; sorcery-speed-only activation telegraphs intentions.
