Rationale
4cmc 3/4 legendary warlock. Static damage/evasion split: tapped creatures gain deathtouch, untapped gain hexproof. Activated mana sink untaps another creature/land. Defines stax-prison and hatebears by creating impossible dilemmas (opp's creatures must choose vulnerability or defenselessness). Requires creature density to generate value; slow at setup. Anti-aggro/tempo: 4cmc is too slow for racing.
