Evidence Examiner 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 Evidence Examiner's last ability triggers whenever you collect evidence for any reason, not just when you collect evidence with its first ability.
- 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 you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all.
- Feb 2, 2024 Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from collecting evidence.
