An evasive body stapled to a graveyard-and-lifegain trigger, built to satisfy two appetites at once: the deck that wants flyers chipping in and the deck that wants its own bin stocked. Milling yourself three is the line that distinguishes this from a plain flying beater; it feeds reanimation targets, escape and delve fuel, or self-mill payoffs, while the three life buys back the tempo a midrange deck spends getting there. That double duty is what the design leans on. As a five-mana 3/2 flyer it does honest combat work, but the enters-the-battlefield package quietly serves the slower plan, which is why it rewards decks that have already decided what they want out of their own graveyard before this lands. Nothing about the rate is greedy: the body is fragile, the mill is fixed at three, the lifegain is a flat number, and the whole payload fires exactly once with no built-in way to recur it. What it offers instead is a clean unit that two different black archetypes can both justify, flexibility folded into a common-tier creature rather than reserved for a marquee rare. That makes it a sturdier building block than its statline suggests: the design compresses a chunk of a graveyard deck's setup into a single card that still leaves something on the board.
