Rationale

5cmc legendary 3/4 samurai with flash, double strike, convoke, and hexproof aura for tapped creatures. Flash + convoke let it surprise-land on tapped tokens (especially in go-wide shells). Double strike turns even a modest 3/4 into a 12-damage clock if suited, enabling equipment-voltron or token-generated combat tricks. Hexproof grant to tapped creatures is defensive soft-lock vs single-target removal but requires board presence to be meaningful. Tier-2 in creature-dense shells (tokens, go-wide); heavy on white pips ({3}{W}{W}) and creature-count dependency make it a build constraint card, not a generic utility pick. Slow setup in control/ramp contexts due to CMC and creature-density requirement."
