Inquisitor Greyfax

Gameplan

Inquisitor Greyfax is an Esper midrange/control commander that builds a wide, vigilant board while grinding card advantage through Clue tokens. You deploy creatures and artifact value engines, use Greyfax's tap ability to lock down key blockers or attackers each turn, then push through with an anthem-buffed, vigilant army or pivot to an artifact/token payoff. The Clues fuel a long grind game where you out-resource the table and close with combat or artifact synergies.

Key Cards

• Academy Manufactor — Triples every Investigate into Clues, Treasures, and Food, turning Greyfax's ability into an explosive value engine.
• Anointed Procession — Doubles every Clue token Greyfax generates, snowballing your card and artifact advantage.
• Smothering Tithe — Pairs with white's draw and the Clue plan to flood you with Treasure for ramp and fixing.
• Reckoner Bankbuster — Another repeatable card-advantage and Clue-style engine that fits the artifact theme and survives board wipes.
• Krark-Clan Ironworks — Converts your pile of Clue and artifact tokens into massive mana for explosive turns and combos.
• Esper Sentinel — Cheap artifact that taxes opponents and draws cards, reinforcing the value-grind plan.
• Teferi's Protection — Esper staple that protects your board and Greyfax from wipes during the long game.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana and ramp (Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Smothering Tithe) so you can both cast threats and crack Clues in the same turn, and prioritize token doublers (Anointed Procession, Mondrak) plus Academy Manufactor for explosive value. Tighten the deck with premium Esper removal and a board wipe suite, then add a compact win condition such as a Krark-Clan Ironworks loop or an aristocrats package to convert your token glut into a kill instead of relying on slow combat.
