In 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic the Gathering's plane of Innistrad, mysteries are rife. Be it the petty crimes of Humans or the larger threats of the monsters outside a town's walls, the Cathars are on hand to serve the people and act as soldiers, guards, and sometimes even detectives.The many detectives and mysteries of the multiverse are represented in-game through the Investigate mechanic. But how do you search for clues, and what are they good for? Here's everything you need to know about Investigate.Updated April 27, 2022 by Joe Parlock: It's not only Innistrad that has crimes that need solving. The Mob-ruled world of New Capenna is full of crime, meaning we saw a few new cards in Streets of New Capenna's Commander decks to add to the count.
What Is Investigate?
Investigate is a keywordಞ action that💮 simply means "create a clue token".
There are lots of ways to investigate. There are instants and sorceries that make them, like Confirm Suspicsions, Declaration in Stone or Press for Answers. It's frequently found on enchantments and artifacts too, thanks to cards like Search the Premises, Ongoing Investigation, Tamiyo's Journal and Trail of Evidence. Finally, it tends to be found on Human creatures (though there are exceptions, like the adorable Floodhound) like Thraben Inspector, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Eloise Nephalia Sleuth, Chief Jim Hopper, and Dennick Pious Apprentice.
The real question, then, is what is a clue token? A clue token is a token artifact that allows you to pay two generic mana, tap it, and sacrဣifice it to draw a card. It's similar in a lot of ways to food and treasure tokens, and is often grouped with the two in token artifact deck strategies.
Like all tokens, clues only exist on the battlefield. If they l𓆏eave the battlefield in any way, such as being sacrificed, bounced, or destroyed, they go into exile and simply cease to exist. Clues are meant to serve as small boosts to card draw that you exhaust to get an advantage.
How To Use Investigate?
Investigate can be usefu🎶l in a wide variety of𒈔 decks, simply because any extra card draw is always good.
However, Investigate really thrives in artifact decks, where it can be produced in large numbers to help with things like Affinity and Improvise. Academy Manufactor is an incrediblไe card that, whenever you make either a clue, food, or treasure, makes the other two at the same time, really speeding up this kind of deck.
You can even turn your𒉰 clue tokens into attackers if you need to. Ris🌃e and Shine makes every artifact you control into a 0/0 with a +1/+1 counter on it, letting you either use them for draw or swing them at an opponent for extra damage.
Lots of cards care about when you sacrifice a clue. Daring Sleuth, Eloise, Fleeting Memories, Lonis Cryptozoologist and Thorough Investigation all work specifically with clues, while other sacrifice-matters decks like Blood Aspirant, Bloodbriar🎀, and Sorcerer's Broom all work off 🥀sacrificing anything including a clue.
What Colour Is Investigate?
Investigating is all about seeking knowledge, making this primarily a blue mechanic. It is found in other colours as well, though.
There are 47 cards that specifically use the word "investigate". 14 are blue, ten are whit🎶e, ten are green, one is black, none are red, and three are colourless.
Though th🌄ere are no mono-red Investigate cards, there are a few with red in multi-colour. There are nine multi-colour cards with Investigate: Two Azorius (white and blue), one Dimir (blue and black), one Gruul (red and green), one Orzhov (white and black), one Boros (red and white), two Simic (green and blue), and one Esper (white/blue/b♓lack).
