Rationale
April O'Neil is a 2cmc 2/1 legendary that generates a Clue token every time a Mutant, Ninja, or Turtle ETBs — effectively repeatable card-draw in TMNT-themed shells. Her Partner (Character select) ability makes her a flexible commander pairing alongside TMNT partners like the turtles themselves, enabling 2-color builds. Value hinges entirely on having the right creature types in the deck; she's near-dead without that density.
Learnings (3)
April's triggered ability covers the 'Turtle' creature type explicitly, meaning the four TMNT Turtle commanders each trigger her on ETB, making her a natural partner in any of those shells.

Her Partner keyword is the TMNT-set 'Character select' variant, which likely has specific pairing rules (only with other TMNT Partner cards); she cannot be freely paired with non-TMNT partner commanders.

Because Clue tokens require {2} + sacrifice to draw, the card advantage is mana-gated and slower than free draw — in low-mana games she can flood the board with Clues but not immediately cash them in.
