Ainok Guide: Trail Scout
Ainok Guide is a compact utility creature that pulls double duty in aggressive and ramping green decks. As a 1 by 1 Dog Scout for {1}{G}, it gives you a choice when it enters the battlefield: bolster itself with a +1/+1 counter or set up your next land draw by putting a basic land on top of your library. That flexible entry effect makes Ainok Guide useful in early turns for committing to the board or smoothing your mana development while leaving room for tempo plays.
From a deckbuilding perspective Ainok Guide fits naturally into Foundations Jumpstart archetypes that prize reliable, low cost plays. The card rewards sequencing and reads of the opponent, since the land selection can be used to enable a follow up turn while the counter option wins combat races. For collectors and players this copy is Near Mint and English, ready for play or draft support without altering the card pool.
