Legendary Creature — Human Detective
Vigilance When Alquist Proft enters, investigate. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.") {X}{W}{U}{U}, {T}, Sacrifice a Clue: You draw X cards and gain X life.
“Draw cards and gain life by investigating clues, scaling into a late-game powerhouse.”
Alquist Proft is your detective commander that turns investigation into a card-draw and lifegain engine. The core gameplan revolves around generating Clue tokens—both from Alquist's entry trigger and from other investigate sources—then sacrificing them to draw cards and gain life. This creates a powerful value loop that scales with the number of Clues you can generate, letting you refuel your hand while stabilizing your life total.
You'll want to load the deck with other investigate creatures and effects so you're constantly making Clues. Cards that create multiple Clues at once or generate them repeatedly become all-stars. Once you have a decent Clue count, you can turn them into a sudden burst of card draw to threaten a combo finish or simply overwhelm opponents with options. The deck naturally leans toward card advantage and incremental advantage, making it a grindy midrange shell that can pivot toward tempo or control depending on what the table needs.
