Gameplay

Enchantment

Whenever one or more creature cards leave your graveyard, create a 2/2 white and blue Detective creature token, then investigate. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")

"In your search for a suspect, never forget that the most important person is the victim." —Ezrim, Agency chief

Clue is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some cards with other permanent types, it's never a creature type, a land type, or anything but an artifact type.

2024-02-02wotc

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.

2024-02-02wotc

You can't sacrifice a Clue to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Clue token to activate its own ability and also to activate Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's ability.
