Rationale
4cmc legendary black creature; sacrifice outlet that -1/-1 counters and draws. Proliferate on discard for scaling. Multi-purpose engine in aristocrats (card draw + sacrifice synergy) and counters-voltron (proliferate amplifies Yawgmoth's own -1/-1 counters on voltron creature and payoff permanents). Signature in black combo shells that abuse sacrifice loops. Life-cost and creature density requirements notable; removal-magnet due to multiple entry points (untap abuse potential).
