Koh, the Face Stealer

Not yet bracketed (or genuinely unplaceable).

—

6cmc legendary shapeshifter spirit that exiles creatures (ETB and trigger on nontoken death) and gains all activated/triggered abilities of a chosen exiled card for 1 life per activation. Signature in reanimator (mills creatures into the exile zone) and combo (steals abilities for value loops). Tier-2 in constructed formats; strong Commander role-player when paired with creatures that have explosive abilities (card-draw engines, mana generators, tutors). Risks: life-cost is cumulative on ability selection, requires creature density to fuel the trigger, and the payoff is entirely commander-dependent—without creatures to exile, Koh is a 6/6 with no value."
