Legendary Creature — Human Detective1 generic manaWhite mana

A trigger that would look at home on a three-mana body sits on a 2/1 because the Clue arrives at most once per turn: cast all the historic spells you like, and you still bank a single Clue, so the card wants a steady drip of legendaries and artifacts rather than one explosive dump of your hand. That patience is the whole personality. Investigate turns your first historic cast each turn into deferred card advantage, a Clue stored now and spent later, which favors a deck that keeps deploying relevant permanents across many turns instead of front-loading everything. Her real function shows in the second keyword, which lets her ride shotgun alongside a Doctor as one of two commanders: one supplies a spellcasting engine dense with legendaries, the other quietly converts that density into a Clue economy. She is built as a supporting officer rather than a table's headliner, tuned to fill the companion slot, and the small body underlines the point. This is a card meant to reward a historic-heavy list with a slow, reliable stream of extra draws, not to swing combat or race an opponent by itself.

Oracle Text

Rules text

Whenever you cast a historic spell, investigate. This ability triggers only once each turn. (Artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas are historic. To investigate, create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "2 generic mana, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.") Doctor's companion (You can have two commanders if the other is the Doctor.)
