Lagorin, Soul of Alacria

Saddle turns a Mount from a static body into a payoff for going wide, and this two-drop is the counter-engine version of that idea. The mechanical trick is in where the fuel comes from: saddling taps other creatures whose total power is one or more, so the flying body that carries the payoff is not itself the resource. You spend a spare token or a tapped-out mana dork to arm the swing, then the attack drops a +1/+1 counter on each of up to two Mounts and/or Vehicles. Note when that trigger resolves: it goes on the declare-attackers step, ahead of blocks, so connecting is never the condition. The counters distribute the instant Lagorin turns sideways, which matters for a fragile 1/1 flier unlikely to survive the combat it starts. And because Lagorin is itself a Mount, it is a legal target for its own ability, so each turn asks whether to reinforce the wider team or shore up the attacker that carries the trigger. That choice is the design's real texture: the counters can compound a board already growing, or come home to keep the engine alive. The Beast Mount typing and the Vehicle clause knit it into a crewing-and-riding shell rather than a generic aggro deck, and saddling only as a sorcery forces you to commit the tapped creatures on your own turn, before you know what the attack will run into.
