Rationale

4cmc legendary Aetherborn Rogue (3/4). Two triggered abilities: cast spells opp doesn't own → Treasure token; combat damage to opp → exile top card face-down, can play it. Signature in Brawl midrange and theft-temporary shells; generates resources while stealing interaction. Requires combat damage to be relevant, and second ability depends on opp board state. Risk: opp-controls-mode (Treasure creation is opp's choice per first ability).
