Rationale
5cmc 4/5 flying legendary bird-serpent. Companion — requires deck 20+ over minimum; ETB flickers any number of own nonland permanents until next end step, replaying them for value. Signature in flicker/blink shells where it enables Mulldrifter, Fury, and other ETB payoffs repeatedly. Companion restriction (deck-construction constraint) and 5cmc make it slow in aggro/burn. Tier-1 in constructed flicker/control.
