Rationale
5-mana legendary dragon with flying and hexproof from monocolored. Grants jump-start to all 2-color instants/sorceries in your graveyard, enabling spell recursion. Signature in spellslinger and instant-sorcery-matters shells that can build around its graveyard payoff. Requires heavy 5-color mana fixing and dense spell density, with graveyard reliance making it vulnerable to graveyard hate.
