Master Sleuth on Duty

Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth is a compact engine for midrange and control builds that want card advantage tied to investigation. At {1}{W}{U} he presents a reliable body and vigilance that plugs into both offense and defense. When he enters the battlefield you investigate, gaining a Clue token that fuels repeatable value. The printed interaction rewards decks that convert clues into card draw while smoothing tempo with a three three that can attack without tapping.

The activated ability scales with the resources you invest. For X{W}{U}, tap, sacrifice a Clue, you draw X cards and gain X life. That creates a practical loop where clues become immediate card selection and incremental life buffer. In draft and constructed play he shines as a tool for digging to answers and stabilizing against aggressive starts while remaining thematically tied to the Murders at Karlov Manor investigation motif.
