When this creature enters, create a Clue token. (It's an artifact with "
, 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)
- Clue tokens are artifact tokens with ", Sacrifice this token: Draw a card."
- Messenger Hawk's last ability applies even if you drew two or more cards only before Messenger Hawk entered.
- 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.
- 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.
