Creature — Human Scout2 generic manaGreen mana

The Clue does double duty here, and that is the whole trick of the design. Investigate hands you a token on arrival, and the creature immediately reads that token as a condition: while you control one, the body swings up to a 4/3, a rate that would be aggressive on its own without the artifact and the card draw stapled underneath. Vigilance keeps that beefed-up frame available on defense, so the token you are sitting on before you cash it in also holds the ground. That sequencing is the clever part. The natural line is to keep the Clue unsacrificed as long as the extra power matters, then break it for a card once you no longer need the body pumped, which turns a single trigger into a slider between tempo and value that you control turn by turn. It reads any token, too, not just its own Clue, so any incidental food, treasure, or map token keeps the +2/+0 live even after the original Clue is gone. This is green's take on a creature that rewards you for hoarding rather than spending: most token payoffs want you to sacrifice, cash out, go wide. This one wants you to hold, and the tension between the card underneath the Clue and the two power on the board is a decision the card forces every turn it stays in play.
