Unshakable Tail: Relentless Clue Seeker
Unshakable Tail is a compact graveyard engine for black decks that want consistent value from milling and self mill. It arrives as a 3 2 Zombie Detective for {2}{B} and immediately helps you sculpt your draws with surveil 1 on entry and at each upkeep. In multiplayer Commander this translates to repeated selection pressure over your top cards and steady Clue output whenever creature cards move from your library to your graveyard.
Functionally this card pairs with library manipulation and sacrifice synergies. Each triggered investigate token can be converted into card advantage by paying 2 and sacrificing the Clue which also doubles as a recursion lever when you have a Clue to spend. Expect this to slot into graveyard strategies, self mill builds, and any list that values incremental card advantage and recursion through the graveyard.
