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

Chalk Outline Rulings

  • Feb 2, 2024

    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.

  • Feb 2, 2024

    If an effect refers to a Clue, it means any Clue artifact, not just a Clue artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Wrench to pay for Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's activated ability.

  • Feb 2, 2024

    If multiple creature cards leave your graveyard at the same time, Chalk Outline's ability will trigger only once.

  • Feb 2, 2024

    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.

  • Feb 2, 2024

    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.
