Kellan, Inquisitive Prodigy // Tail the Suspect

Kellan is a flying detective who investigates clues and generates value through card advantage. Every time Kellan enters the battlefield or you cast the adventure spell Tail the Suspect, you get clue tokens—little artifacts that turn into card draw. The deck leans into this investigative engine by playing cards that synergize with clue tokens, generate more of them, or benefit from artifact tokens entering the battlefield. You're essentially building a value-focused midrange deck where Kellan provides consistent card advantage while you build up resources.

Your win condition is straightforward: grind out card advantage until you have more resources than your opponents, then deploy threats they can't answer. The adventure side of Kellan is repeatable (you can cast it multiple times from the command zone if Kellan dies), so you'll naturally accumulate clues. Pair this with cards that care about clues—like Bygone Bishop or Tireless Tracker—and you turn cheap artifacts into massive board presence. You can also lean into artifact synergies more broadly, turning clues into a token-swarm strategy or just leveraging them for mana acceleration.
