Haste is normally something you stamp on a single creature: a keyword you pay for once and read off one card. Soulbond turns that grant into a relationship between two bodies, and this 2/1 Berserker is the cleanest example of what the mechanic was built to do. It comes down and pairs with whatever unpaired creature you have, handing both itself and its partner the ability to swing immediately. The grant is not a one-shot trick but a standing condition: the haste persists while the bond holds. The interesting beat is the next deployment. When the Berserker enters beside a creature already on the table, or when a fresh threat lands and finds it unpaired, the pairing can latch onto a new partner, and a finisher that would otherwise sit out a turn attacks the moment it arrives. That is the tension soulbond resolves: a lone haste enabler is a combat trick, but a creature that can re-anchor the bond across deployments attaches the keyword to a board state rather than to a spell. What keeps it fair is the fragility of the pairing. Lose either half (to removal, to a chump block, to a creature leaving play) and the haste evaporates, so the effect depends entirely on keeping both bodies alive. Less a beater than a delivery mechanism for speed.
