Courageous Outrider

Creature — Human Scout3 generic manaWhite mana

Tribal card-advantage creatures usually buy their draw with a flimsy body; this one pays the other way, leading with a 3/4 that holds the ground a Human midrange deck wants to grind through and treating the dig as a bonus rather than the whole point. The enter trigger looks four deep for a Human to add to your hand, and the selection is what keeps it honest: you keep one Human and only a Human, so the effect scales with how committed you are to the tribe rather than how clever you are at splashing it. Lean on the most populous creature type in the game and the hit rate climbs; build off-type and the trigger does nothing. That whiff is the real floor here. When none of the top four is a Human, you get the body and nothing else, the rest sliding to the bottom in whatever order you like (which tidies the bottom of your library, not the next draw, since draws still come off the top). It belongs to a long line of "find a creature of type X" effects, white's tribal answer to green's creature tutors and red's impulsive digging, and what separates it from most of them is that the card still earns its slot when the search comes up empty.
