Legendary Creature — Lizard Detective
Partner with Jenny Flint (When this creature enters, target player may put Jenny Flint into their hand from their library, then shuffle.) Madame Vastra must be blocked if able. Whenever a creature dealt damage by Madame Vastra this turn dies, create a Clue token and a Food token.
“Force blocks, generate tokens, sacrifice for value with your detective partner.”
Madame Vastra is a quirky detective who forces opponents to block her while rewarding you for turning blocked creatures into death triggers. Your core gameplan is to attack into blockers, deal damage to creatures, then watch them die—generating Clues and Food tokens in the process. With her partner Jenny Flint, you're building a small blue-green deck that cares about token generation, sacrifice synergies, and grinding value from creature combat.
The deck wins through a combination of anthem effects (to pump your tokens into threats), sacrifice outlets that turn Clues and Food into card draw or damage, and eventually assembling enough board presence to trample over or go wide. Think of it as a midrange deck that generates incremental value every combat step. You'll hold up mana for instant-speed tricks to ensure creatures die, maximizing your token generation. With cards that sacrifice artifacts or creatures for effects, you turn your Clues into card advantage and your Food into life gain or mana ramp.

Skip pricey tutors; use green ramp staples like Cultivate and Kodama's Reach, and budget sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer instead of Yavimaya Saphir.
