Legendary Creature — Human Detective
You may cast creature spells as though they had flash. Whenever one or more other creatures you control leave the battlefield, investigate. This ability triggers only once each turn. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")
“Flash creatures + sacrifice triggers = card advantage engine with tempo control”
Sally Sparrow lets you cast creatures at instant speed while generating card draw through investigate triggers. Your core gameplan is to build a tempo-focused deck that leverages flash creatures to keep mana up for interaction, then capitalize on bodies leaving the battlefield—whether through sacrifice outlets, combat tricks, or intentional flicker effects—to generate Clue tokens and dig deeper into your deck. You're essentially playing a midrange tempo shell that rewards you for playing creatures at odd angles and maintaining flexibility on your opponent's turn.
The deck wins through a combination of evasive threats and incremental advantage. Flash creatures like Subtlety, Solitude, and Soulherder enable you to protect your life total while advancing your board, and sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer or Culling Ritual give you repeatable ways to trigger Sally's investigate ability. Over time, you'll assemble a bigger board while out-drawing your opponents thanks to the Clue tokens, eventually closing out games with commander damage or a flashed-in evasive threat.

Skip pricey flash creatures like Solitude; replace with Venser's Dingus, Ephemerate, and Teleport instead of expensive blink spells, and use budget staples like Wayfaring Temple over premium draw engines.
