Fortune, Loyal Steed — Steady Scry and Strategic Reuse
Fortune, Loyal Steed is a compact white threat that rewards timing and setup. The two mana and a white to cast this Legendary Creature yields immediate value with scry 2 on entry. The body sits as a 2/4 which blocks reliably and buys time while you set up a saddle. The card plays well in blink or aura shells and fits into strategies that want efficient value and tempo without overcommitting to the battlefield.
The saddle mechanic creates a predictable loop: when Fortune attacks while saddled you can exile it and the creature that saddled it at end of combat then return them to the battlefield under their owner s control. That interaction functions as a reset that protects key attackers and reuses enter the battlefield abilities. In lore terms Fortune runs the ridge between two towns carrying both riders and rumors, steadfast when needed and useful for plans that depend on repeated triggers. Use it to stabilize midgame board states and to protect high impact creatures through combat.
