Senu, Keen-Eyed Protector — Watchful Scout
Senu, Keen-Eyed Protector is a low cost engine for white creature strategies that rewards tight timing and careful attacks. As a {1}{W} legendary creature with flying and vigilance, Senu provides early board presence while doubling as a reusable life and information sink. Tap to exile Senu and you gain two life and scry two, a small economy play that buys you tempo and improves your draws without surrendering board position for long.
Its second clause creates a clear loop with legendary attackers. If you exile Senu and later swing with a legendary creature that is not blocked, Senu returns to the battlefield attacking. That lets you convert the exile activation into surprise follow through and extra damage while keeping Senu available as a chump blocker or a repeatable scry lifegain engine. For decks that rely on commanders or other named legends, Senu functions as both utility and a tactical threat. Consider sequencing exile activations around combat tricks and removal to maximize value.
