Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot — Deadeye Mercenary
Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot pulls noncombat tactics into meaningful card advantage. As a legendary creature with a steady two power and three toughness, she rewards precision: when a source you control deals noncombat damage to a creature equal to that creature's toughness, you draw a card. That trigger encourages you to engineer damage across a range of permanents and to plan trades around exact totals rather than brute force swings.
Her activated ability bends how noncombat damage resolves. Pay X and tap Taii and your sources deal X more damage than they otherwise would this turn. The clause pairs well with ping effects, artifact shooters, and repeatable damage triggers common in red white shells. In practice she turns incremental burn into selection and card flow, making her a practical inclusion in midrange and toolbox builds in the Outlaws of Thunder Junction environment.
