Swift Scout, Twice the Strike
Kinjalli's Dawnrunner is a compact and efficient white creature that rewards tempo and careful sequencing. For {2}{W} you get a 1 1 Human Scout with double strike that also explores when it enters the battlefield. The explore trigger provides immediate information and board development by either drawing a land or putting a +1 +1 counter on the Dawnrunner, which makes each attack more meaningful and forces opponents to answer a growing threat.
This Near Mint foil print from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan carries the set flavor of exploration and coastal skirmishes. Use Kinjalli's Dawnrunner as a reliable early attacker in aggressive decks or as a value engine in midrange builds that want incremental upgrades. The card plays well with pump effects and anthem effects that leverage its double strike and scales with cards that care about counters or enter the battlefield triggers.
