Rationale
5cmc double-faced legendary creature/saga hybrid. Front side (Phyrexian Praetor, reach/trample): doubles mana from lands and counter doublers. Back side (saga): recurring threat with fight/mill payoff. Signature in counter-doublers (Vorinclex is the *defining* doubler), ramp shells leveraging mana-doubling, and plus-one-counter strategies. Must-answer threat vulnerable to removal before transform; color-locked green; slow setup requiring land density and counter production to shine.
