What it does

Flying

When this creature enters, create a Clue token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")

This creature gets +2/+0 as long as you've drawn two or more cards this turn.

Rulings

4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2025-10-02

    Clue tokens are artifact tokens with "2, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card."

  • 2025-10-02

    Messenger Hawk's last ability applies even if you drew two or more cards only before Messenger Hawk entered.

  • 2025-10-02

    Creating a Clue token this way isn't the same thing as investigating. Notably, an ability that triggers whenever you investigate won't trigger because of creating a Clue token this way.

  • 2025-10-02

    If a spell or ability causes you to put cards into your hand without specifically using the word "draw," Messenger Hawk's ability doesn't count them.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Messenger Hawk

1 printing, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Messenger Hawk — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
