Waterwind Scout (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint

Scout the Tides

Waterwind Scout is a compact flying threat that fits neatly into tempo and explore shells. The card name reflects its role on the battlefield, a Merfolk Scout that arrives for {2}{U} and immediately generates a Map token. That token gives you a repeatable way to trigger explores on demand which pairs with enter the battlefield effects and any creatures that benefit from +1/+1 counters or card advantage when they explore.

Experienced players will find Waterwind Scout useful as both an evasive attacker and a setup piece. Its 2/2 body trades well against early ground creatures while the Map token scales into the late game as a utility engine. Use it when you need an airborne chump that also fuels incremental value and board development in Lost Caverns of Ixalan themed decks.
