Rationale
1cmc 2/1 legendary with two optional activation paths: Scout→Detective grants "combat damage exile-and-play" (spellslinger payoff), Detective→Rogue grants double strike and +1 toughness. Signature in tempo/spellslinger shells where the evasion and card-advantage loop synergizes with prowess and spell velocity. Slow multi-activation setup and telegraphed transformations make it removal-magnet; double-strike finisher mode is high-ceiling but requires sequencing and mana investment."
