Rationale

Lurrus is a 3/2 lifelink companion that lets you cast a permanent spell with MV 2 or less from your graveyard once per turn — a powerful recurring engine in low-curve shells. The companion constraint (all permanents MV ≤2) is extremely restrictive, making it a signature piece only in decks built around cheap permanents (aristocrats, graveyard loops, combo). Actively hostile to any deck relying on high-CMC permanents (ramp, voltron, control).
