Quiet Clueslinger
Serene Sleuth is a compact investigator that converts tempo into card advantage. Casting her for {1}{W} gives you a Clue token immediately and sets up a repeating engine at the start of each combat on your turn. If you have creatures that have been goaded she turns their forced attacks into more information by investigating once for each goaded creature you control then clearing the goad status so those creatures can participate again without restriction.
This 2/2 Human Detective fits naturally into artifact and token synergies as well as aggressive white builds that tolerate goad mechanics. The printed ability rewards careful sequencing and board planning. Use Serene Sleuth to sponsor a steady draw pipeline while keeping your attackers active and your opponents guessing about which clue will be sacrificed next.
