Projektor Inspector

Creature — Human Detective2 generic manaBlue mana

Looting triggers have historically hung on a single named event: a creature dying, a spell resolving, an upkeep beginning. This one binds the effect to a subtype and then multiplies the qualifying events, so every Detective that enters and every Detective that gets turned face up hands you another chance to filter. The 3/2 body is beside the point; what the card wants is density, because each additional Detective converts the ability from a one-off into a recurring smoother that improves your draws, feeds the graveyard, and pitches whatever the deck would rather bury. The face-up interaction is worth understanding: a creature that arrives disguised or cloaked is a colorless 2/2 with no subtypes, so it does not read as a Detective when it enters and does not trigger the ETB half. It only earns a look when it flips, at which point its printed identity comes online. The optional draw keeps it honest: you are never forced to churn a card you would rather hold, so the ability reads as pure upside, but the mandatory discard once you draw means it never grows your hand, only its quality. Draw one, bin one, net-neutral in card count but positive in selection. That is the entire engine: it sharpens the cards you see in proportion to how committed you are to a single creature type, rather than refilling your hand outright.
