Confront the Unknown Rulings
5 most recent
- Apr 8, 2016 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.
- Apr 8, 2016 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.
- Apr 8, 2016 No player may take any action in between the two steps of Confront the Unknown, so the target creature will get at least +1/+1.
- Apr 8, 2016 You can't cast a spell without choosing legal targets. If all of those targets become illegal, the spell doesn't resolve and you won't investigate.
- Apr 8, 2016 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.
