Glint-Horn Buccaneer + Tandem Lookout
Overview
When Glint-Horn Buccaneer is paired with Tandem Lookout via Soulbond and Buccaneer discards a card while it’s attacking, Buccaneer’s discard-trigger (a triggered ability per Ruling [2019-07-12]) deals 1 damage to each opponent; each time Buccaneer deals damage to an opponent that event will trigger the Lookout-granted ability and cause you to draw a card for each opponent damaged (see Ruling [2017-03-14]).
Step 1
Pair Tandem Lookout with Glint-Horn Buccaneer using Soulbond (you may pair them when either enters the battlefield).
Step 2
Declare Buccaneer as an attacker during the declare attackers step so it is in the 'attacking' state (attack declaration rules apply ).
Step 3
At an appropriate priority window while Buccaneer is attacking, activate Buccaneer’s 
, Discard a card ability (the discard is part of the cost; Ruling [2019-07-12]).
, Discard a card ability (the discard is part of the cost; Ruling [2019-07-12]).Step 4
When you pay the cost and discard a card, Buccaneer’s triggered ability 'Whenever you discard a card, this creature deals 1 damage to each opponent' triggers and is put on the stack (the discard happened as a cost, which can cause triggers).
Step 5
That triggered ability resolves and deals 1 damage to each opponent. For each opponent dealt damage by Buccaneer, Tandem Lookout’s granted ability 'Whenever this creature deals damage to an opponent, draw a card' triggers (one trigger per opponent damaged).
Step 6
Resolve the Lookout-granted triggers (they will draw cards). After those resolve you will eventually resolve the original activated ability (the draw from Buccaneer’s activated ability) and draw its card.
Resolution
Activate Buccaneer’s , Discard a card ability only while it’s attacking (the activation restriction is enforced by attacking rules ); the discard is paid as a cost, which causes Buccaneer’s triggered ability to trigger (see Ruling [2019-07-12]). That triggered ability will deal 1 damage to each opponent; for each opponent dealt damage, Tandem Lookout’s granted triggered ability triggers and will draw a card when it resolves (even if the creatures no longer have the ability by the time damage is dealt, per Ruling [2017-03-14]).
