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.
wotc2 Oct 2025
Clue tokens are artifact tokens with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card."
wotc2 Oct 2025
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.

Messenger Hawk's last ability applies even if you drew two or more cards only before Messenger Hawk entered.
