Updated version of my Sophia, Dogged Detective deck. Even before I played it once, I realized my first version was off-base. It was focusing on clues/token generation and not leveraging Sophia's commander text/abilities much at all.

This version is focused on dog tribal, +1/+1 counters and protection. It's more fun than serious, but will effectively "do-the-thing" (which is having a legendary Great Dane and/or all his friends sit on you).

Deck namesake is after my own Great Dane, Groot. More to come as I play-test. ~Met
