Tandem Lookout

Creature — Human Scout2 generic manaBlue mana

Curiosity, stapled to a 2/1 body and handed to two creatures at once. The soulbond pairing is what makes that arithmetic dangerous: the draw trigger sits on both linked creatures, so any unblocked partner refills the hand while Tandem Lookout itself sits back as a body nobody wants to trade with. The design tension lives in the word "opponent." Only damage that reaches a player pays out: blocked damage to a creature does nothing, and a swing into a planeswalker comes up empty, because a planeswalker is a permanent, not an opponent. That single word steers the whole package toward evasion rather than brawling. Pair it with something that connects reliably, a flier or an unblockable threat, and the engine quietly turns every connecting swing into a cantrip across two separate triggers. The fragility is the price. The pairing dissolves the moment you stop controlling both creatures, so killing either body switches the draw off, and the 2/1 frame means the Lookout is rarely the survivor. It is built for a board already winning the damage race and looking to convert that tempo edge into card advantage: the inverse of a finisher, doing its best work while you are ahead rather than when you are clawing back.
