Fortune Rides True
Fortune, Loyal Steed is a compact white legend that fits cleanly into creature based strategies and creature heavy aggro decks. The card reads easily at a cost of {2}{W} and enters with scry 2, which helps your next draw and smooths early plays. Its saddle mechanic rewards attacking lines; when Fortune attacks while saddled you stage a temporary exile that returns both rider and mount at end of combat, enabling combat tricks and safe reuse of enter the battlefield effects.
In practice Fortune, Loyal Steed serves as a utility two four that sets up bargaining plays and tempo swings. It pairs with equipment and aura based engines that can saddle creatures or grant attacking synergies. The art shows a steadfast beast on a rocky plain and the lore fit is obvious: a mount bred for borderlands, steady enough to carry a gambit and reliable enough to come back into the fight.
