Duggan, Private Detective

Duggan is a clever card-advantage engine that grows with your hand size and rewards you for holding cards. Your gameplan is to build up a large grip of cards—through card draw, cantrips, and maybe some wheel effects—while Duggan investigates and generates clue tokens. Each investigate trigger nets you a clue, which you can crack for even more cards, creating a satisfying loop of hand size and power. You're essentially a midrange deck that plays control early, ramps your hand size, then pivots to a beefy Duggan that threatens both lethal damage and The Most Important Punch as a removal spell.

The deck wants to stay interactive and grindy, using Investigate to generate value while blue-green gives you access to creature removal, counterspells, and ramp. You're not trying to combo off or go off explosively—instead, you're building a board presence that's hard to race while staying one step ahead on resources. The win is typically Duggan swinging in big, or using that activated ability to finish off a blocker and push through for the kill.
