Henry Wu, InGen Geneticist
Legendary Creature — Human Scientist
Henry Wu and other Human creatures you control have exploit. (When a creature with exploit enters, you may sacrifice a creature.)
Whenever a creature you control exploits a non-Human creature, draw a card. If the exploited creature had power 3 or greater, create a Treasure token.

Henry Wu, InGen Geneticist puts a token-doubling engine directly in the command zone — every creature token you make becomes two, which is the kind of effect that normally costs you a dedicated enchantment slot. The cost is a narrow color identity and a Jurassic World Series pedigree that limits reprint availability, but any token strategy that can run him should.

Henry Wu, InGen Geneticist is a Commander card — full stop. The 99-card singleton format is where static token-doublers are most impactful, and sitting in the command zone means he's always available rather than a one-of you hope to draw. In Legacy and Vintage, where he's technically legal, he's far too slow and provides no interaction with the dominant strategies; no competitive list wants a four-mana do-nothing-on-entry creature when the format is decided by turn two. Commander is the only format where Henry Wu, InGen Geneticist earns his slot.
