Legendary Creature — Spirit Cleric
Flying At the beginning of each end step, if you put a counter on a creature this turn, investigate. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")
“Flying cleric that turns +1/+1 counters into card draw via investigation.”
Lord Jyscal Guado is a evasive cleric that rewards you for putting counters on creatures each turn. Your gameplan is to build a modest +1/+1 counters engine that generates card draw through investigation triggers. This isn't a fast strategy—it's about steady value accumulation. You'll play creatures that get counters (through cards like animation effects, proliferate, or +1/+1 counter synergies), then cash in your Clue tokens for cards when you need them. The deck aims to grind out value and out-resource opponents while swinging in with a flying lord.
Your win condition is patient combat damage, backed by a steady stream of card advantage. Since Jyscal is cheap and evasive, you're never in a rush. Focus on white's best counter synergies: cards that spread +1/+1 counters across your board, effects that reward counter placement, and cheap creatures that scale with counters. You'll also run sacrifice outlets and small finishers that benefit from an enlarged board. The Clue tokens provide emergency mana sinks and draw smoothing, keeping your hand full while you set up.

Start with budget lords and anthems like Intrepid Adversary and Brave the Elements instead of pricier payoffs; use common +1/+1 counter synergies from Core Sets.
