Tandem Lookout

Description

The 2017 Modern Masters 2017 release includes the Common creature card Tandem Lookout, designated as card number 53 in the MM3 set. This Magic: The Gathering trading card features a foil finish and was illustrated by Kev Walker. The card represents a three-mana investment, costing {2}{U}, with a mana value of 3 and a power/toughness ratio of 2/1. Tandem Lookout functions as a Human Scout with the Soulbond ability. This mechanic allows the creature to pair with another unpaired creature when it enters the battlefield, remaining linked as long as you control both. The strategic value emerges from the paired state: whenever either creature in the pair deals damage to an opponent, the controller draws a card. This effect transforms a modest 2/1 body into a card-drawing engine for aggressive strategies. The foil treatment provides a distinct aesthetic finish compared to the nonfoil version. Completing a set of Modern Masters 2017 requires acquiring this card number, making it a necessary component for dedicated builders. The combination of the Soulbond keyword and the draw effect makes this card a recognizable presence in the game's history. It offers a straightforward yet effective ability that rewards combat engagement. Whether used in constructed formats or casual play, the card delivers consistent value through its unique paired interaction.
