Tolsimir, Midnight's Light
The Tolsimir-and-Voja pairing has been printed before, but this version rewrites the relationship between them into a combat engine rather than a value shell. The elf arrives fragile, a 3/2 body that mostly exists to conjure Voja Fenstalker, a 5/5 trampling Wolf that does the actual work. The third ability is what makes the whole package cohere: a lure effect gated behind a two-part condition, firing only when a Wolf attacks and Tolsimir has also joined the swing. Neither creature is compelled to attack (the trigger simply does nothing unless both do), so the controller has to volunteer the whole package to combat before the lure ever lands. The reward for committing two legends at once is that a chosen blocker gets dragged in front of a trampler, and the excess spills over regardless of how the block resolves. Lifelink on Tolsimir is the pressure valve that keeps this from being a pure race, buying back the tempo spent attacking into open mana. Lure abilities have long lived in green as a way to punt through defensive walls, but they tend to be clunky: welding one to a trample outlet and a self-selected target turns it into a repeatable way to trade an opponent's best blocker for nothing. The tension is entirely front-loaded. The payoff only exists if you are willing to expose both bodies to combat math every turn, and the ability rewards the player who does.
