April, Reporter of the Weird

—

April is a 3cmc 2/2 that loots (draw then discard) whenever she deals combat damage, scaling with damage dealt — making her a naturally strong voltron commander who wants power boosts and evasion to maximize card draw. She fits best as a commander in voltron shells (especially counters-voltron where power buffs directly scale her draw) and blue midrange/tempo decks that value repeatable card selection. The discard clause tempers the draw, making her a looter rather than pure advantage, which is solid but not format-defining.

• April's draw scales with combat damage dealt, not just 'deals combat damage to a player' as a flat 1 — giving her power boosts (Double Strike, +1/+1 counters, equipment) multiplicatively increases her card selection, making her unusually strong as a voltron commander in blue.

• The discard clause means April does not generate raw card advantage on her own; she is a repeatable looter that trades up quality rather than quantity, so pairing her with discard payoffs (Madness, graveyard synergies) can extract additional value.

• As an uncommon Human Detective, April has relevant tribal synergy in Murders at Karlov Manor limited and Commander Detective typal lists, where clue synergies and investigate payoffs often share Blue color identity.
