Zurgo and Ojutai

Legendary Creature — Orc Dragon2 generic manaBlue manaRed manaWhite mana

The self-protection clause reveals a card built to attack, not to sit back. The hexproof lasts only for the turn it entered, which makes it a shield for the swing, not a permanent ward: cast it, connect while it cannot be picked off at instant speed, and once that turn ends the protection expires. Everything else keys off that combat step. The card-selection trigger reads on any Dragon you control connecting, not just this one, so it rewards a board of fliers rather than a single threat, and it does not overpay on plurality: multiple Dragons landing damage still resolves as one look at three. The bounce clause is the quiet engine. Returning a Dragon to hand looks like a downside stapled to a combat trigger, but it is a deliberate handle for re-triggering enter-the-battlefield effects or lifting a threat out of a sweeper's reach on your own terms. The 4/4 flying haste body does the immediate work: it comes down and threatens damage the same turn, feeding its own selection the moment it swings. This partnered-legend design fuses the aggressive orc with the patient dragon, and the mechanics split the difference: fast enough to close, methodical enough to grind, with the self-protection built to survive the one attack that matters and the card advantage built to compound across many.

Rules text

Flying, haste Zurgo and Ojutai has hexproof as long as it entered this turn. Whenever one or more Dragons you control deal combat damage to a player or battle, look at the top three cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in any order. You may return one of those Dragons to its owner's hand.
