Zygon Infiltrator puts a body on board that creates Clue tokens on combat damage, and the payoff is immediate — every hit is card advantage. It slots cleanly into Davros, Dalek Creator lists where sacrificing those Clues feeds the engine rather than just drawing cards.

Davros, Dalek Creator
Davros, Dalek Creator wants artifacts to sacrifice for death triggers, and Zygon Infiltrator generates Clue tokens on each successful attack — giving Davros a repeatable stream of fodder without spending extra cards or mana.

Zygon Infiltrator is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but realistically it's a Commander card. Legacy and Vintage have no appetite for a three-mana 2/2 with a combat-damage trigger when those formats can win on turns one and two. In Commander, the card finds its home almost exclusively in Davros, Dalek Creator builds, where Clue tokens are currency rather than just cantrips.
