Sophia, Dogged Detective

A partnership stapled into one card, though only half of it drives the engine. Sophia arrives with Tiny already at her side, but the combat payoff is written to fire when a Dog you control connects, not when Sophia does. She is a Human Detective who assembles the pack and then hangs back: Tiny and every Dog after it are the ones that generate Food and investigate on damage, one of each per connecting attacker, feeding the fuel supply. Those artifact tokens are not just value; they are ammunition. The activated ability converts a stockpile of Food and Clues into +1/+1 counters spread across every Dog you control, so the same tokens that represent card advantage can be spent to make the next swing wider. Attack, bank artifacts, spend them to grow the pack, attack harder: the loop trends toward inevitability, and none of it depends on Sophia herself getting through. The Bant identity earns its structure, splicing white's counter support and blue's card-draw payoff onto a green go-wide shell, with the Detective conceit binding investigate to the Dog tribal engine rather than leaving them as unrelated subthemes. Token-doubling and counter-piling engines usually compete for the same resources; here Food and Clues stay fungible with combat math, so nothing in the pile sits dead. A 3/4 that resolves into a two-body board immediately, and a growth engine once its Dogs start landing hits.
