Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth
Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth arrives as a deliberate, methodical presence. This legendary 3/3 Human Detective carries Vigilance so he can both attack and stand ready to block. His enter the battlefield investigate trigger gives you a clue token to bank information for later, and his activated ability converts clues into card advantage and life when you pay X{W}{U}, tap him, and sacrifice a clue. That economy fits well in control shells that prize incremental value and resource conversion.
From a lore perspective Alquist is the steady hand in Karlov Manor who pieces together small details until the full pattern appears. In play he rewards careful setup and timing. Use him as a repeatable engine for drawing through your deck while stabilizing the board with life gain. He slots smoothly into artifact or token synergies that care about clues and into white blue lists that value repeatable card draw without relying on raw card advantage alone.
