Person of Interest enters as a 2/3 with flying and creates a tapped Clue token, stapling low-cost card advantage onto a relevant body. Three mana for a flier that replaces itself on entry is a clean rate, and in formats that care about artifacts or investigate synergies, that Clue is never blank.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

Person of Interest is legal across every major format, but the context that makes it worth running varies sharply. In Commander, it slots into Clue-matters and artifact-token shells — think Lonis, Cryptozoologist or Breya, Etherium Shaper — where the Clue triggers payoffs and the flying body isn't irrelevant. In Pauper, a three-mana 2/3 with flying and a Clue is genuinely competitive rate for tempo or control strategies that need cheap card selection. In Modern, Pioneer, and Legacy, Person of Interest is too slow and underpowered to see serious play outside of dedicated investigate-synergy lists, which barely exist at those power levels.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Person of Interest is deep bulk — a card you pick up by the playset for essentially nothing. That price is stable because demand is narrow and supply is wide; don't expect movement.
