Gameplay

Creature — Devil Detective

When this creature enters, discard your hand, then investigate four times. (To investigate, create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.") As long as you have one or fewer cards in hand, this creature gets +2/+2 and has menace.

Some abilities trigger "whenever you sacrifice a Clue". Those abilities trigger whenever you sacrifice a Clue for any reason, not just to activate a Clue's activated ability.

Once Carnage Interpreter has been blocked, causing it to gain menace by removing cards from your hand won't cause it to stop being blocked.

Some spells and abilities that investigate may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't create any Clue tokens.
