Zimone and Dina
Two engines pulling in opposite directions, welded into one three-mana body. The drain trigger wants you drawing your second card each turn: an asymmetrical squeeze that costs one opponent two life and pays it back to you, a slow clock that rewards the cantrips and extra-draw effects a value deck runs anyway. The activated ability is the noisier half, a sacrifice outlet that turns dying creatures into cards and, crucially, into free lands from hand. That land clause is the tell. Sultai has always been the ramp-into-value triad, and here the payoff for hitting eight lands is that a single sacrifice draws two cards and drops two lands, which then feeds the drain trigger it just enabled. The two halves loop into each other: sacrifice for cards, cross your second draw, drain a chosen opponent, and the tapped lands push you toward the eight-land threshold that doubles the sacrifice draw. Neither half stands alone, and that dependency is what fixes the card's ceiling. The drain needs a steady stream of second draws to become a clock, and it only ever pressures one player at a time, so it grinds rather than swings a table. The sacrifice engine needs fodder and lands in hand to keep looping. A 3/4 across three colors is a fair rate, but this is priced as a build-around: two named partners fused into a single legend, each carrying half of a graveyard-and-lands machine that only comes online once the deck is built to keep both fed.
