Undercover Lead
Person of Interest is a compact red play that packs board presence and subtle disruption. For {3}{R} you get a 2/2 Human Rogue that arrives and immediately becomes a focal point of the combat step by being suspected. The printed enter the battlefield trigger also creates a 2/2 white and blue Detective token which pressures opponents in two ways. Suspected permanents gain menace and cannot block so the token forces evasive assignments while the rogue itself can pull attention or bait removal.
In practical decks this card fits midrange and tempo strategies that capitalize on incremental advantages and forced blocks. The synergy between a red spell that spawns a blue white token lends itself to cross color shelling where the token’s menace shifts combat math and the threat economy punishes slow interaction. Use Person of Interest to create a tempo window, threaten chip damage, and turn a single removal spell into a costly answer.
