You may cast creature spells as though they had flash. Whenever one or more other creatures you control leave the battlefield, investigate. This ability triggers only once each turn. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")
How Sally Sparrow decks play in EDH
Sally Sparrow is a Azorius commander in white and blue costing 2WU, and its legendary creature - human detective line shapes the whole deck around it. It makes tokens, so the deck wants ways to pump a wide board and to turn spare bodies into cards or damage. Sacrifice is built into the card, which pairs it with cheap recursive creatures and payoffs that trigger when something dies. The cards below are the ones Sally Sparrow decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
