Double-posting for my own rant:
Tenth District Hero does something I really like for my Cube. It's a white 2-drop that grows in a powerful but fair way and eventually protects your entire team. I like the story it tells within the card (besides the fact that lol she's now a detective and not a soldier???)
BUT!
1. No reminder text
I know this is a MTGGoldfish translation, but the foreign versions of the card don't have it and there's likely too much text for it. No one is going to remember/know what "collect evidence" means.
2. Memory issues
I find this template of card is more trouble than it's worth for everything outside of
Figure of Destiny. It's just kind of a pain in the ass to play with.
It's sad, because I was looking forward to this character since we got the art spoiled, and I do like how she plays. Those two issues far surpass any excitement I had for the card, though.

Wonderful art and name. This feels like the rare hit in terms of "how can WotC make a Ravnica murder mystery feel like a cool
Magic set?" - continuing the baseball metaphor, it's at least a triple on that front.
I ran
Recommission for a bit and it was
fine.
Helping Hand has been absurdly good, even better than all-timer
Unearth, simply because white decks love the effect even more and white's three drops are jacked. Just a ton of potential value for one mana, and y'all should be thinking about running it at minimum, unless it's grossly inappropriate in your Cube's context for whatever reason.
Two mana is rough. Gameplay wise, I do like the flying counter more than the +1/+1 you get from Recommission, and I'm not plussed about losing out on reanimating artifacts. They're annoying and fiddly and even if I bothered to include them specifically with my tokens and dice, my players would never remember/bother to grab them.
I don't think this makes it for my main Cube, but I'll keep it in my ideas binder for future Cube projects. Maybe if I lower the curve of my Cube alongside the general power creep we've seen over the years, this will de-facto be a 2 mana reanimate with upside in my Cube in due time. I'm just happy they're printing more of this effect, either way.
