Spyglass Siren Sights
Spyglass Siren is a compact tempo piece from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan that pulls value on entry. The card name tells you what it does and how to use it. With a single blue mana you get a flying 1 1 that immediately generates a Map token. That token is a small engine that can be cashed in to have a creature you control explore, making this Siren a tidy source of card selection and incremental advantage when played on curve.
Play the Spyglass Siren when you need an evasive body and a repeatable toolbox. The Map token pairs well with creatures that want to grow through exploration or with decks that prize tempo and card quality. In lore terms the Siren scouts the cavern mouth and leaves a cartographer's device so the crew can choose their next move. Practically speaking you get pressure in the air plus a setup for future turns.
