"Find me cards equivalent to: Hostile Investigator"

Cards equivalent to Hostile Investigator (color: Black, discard + investigation/Clue synergy):
1. Geth's Grimoire — Not a creature, but rewards you with draws for opponent's discards (synergy: discard matter).
2. Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage — Discards cards, though not upon entering; damages for empty hands.
3. Plaguecrafter — Forces discard or sacrifice on enter.
4. Ravenous Rats — Opponent discards on enter (no clue token).
5. Thoughtpicker Witch — Can force sacrifice and manipulates draws; little synergy with clues.

No exact black creatures combine both discard on ETB and clue creation, but these cards provide similar functions. Hostile Investigator is currently unique in investigating upon discard.

  • If an opponent has one or fewer cards in hand as Davriel's first ability triggers but has two or more cards in hand as that ability resolves, Davriel doesn't deal damage to them.
  • If an opponent has two or more cards in their hand as their upkeep begins, Davriel's first ability won't trigger. No player may take any actions during a turn before the turn's upkeep begins. Because the upkeep step is before the draw step, that player won't have drawn a card for the turn yet.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, Davriel's first ability triggers for each opponent separately as appropriate during that player's team's upkeep.

  • As Plaguecrafter's ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is chooses a creature or planeswalker they control, then each other player in turn order does the same, knowing the choices made before them. Then all the chosen permanents are sacrificed at the same time. Next, each player in the same order who couldn't sacrifice a permanent chooses a card in hand without revealing it, then the chosen cards are discarded at the same time.
  • Each player chooses a permanent to sacrifice from among the creatures and planeswalkers they control. You don't choose which type of permanent any other player has to sacrifice.
  • Plaguecrafter can be the creature its controller sacrifices for its own ability.
