Scout of Quiet Curiosities
Amalia Benavides Aguirre is a compact legendary Vampire Scout that earns its keep in midrange and lifegain shells. The card reads as a two two with Ward that forces a three life tax to target it. Its triggered line turns every life gain into exploration which fuels card selection and growth on the battlefield.
Play Amalia where incremental life and token synergies exist. The explore mechanic keeps your hand fresh while the end step clause can clear the board if you push the card to twenty power through counters and repeated triggers. In Lost Caverns of Ixalan she reads like a cautious scout who catalogues discoveries then calls for surgical removal when a threshold is reached.
