AI 🤖 Find me cards equivalent to: Drownyard Explorers

Equivalent cards to Drownyard Explorers (blue creature with investigates on ETB):
1. Thopter Engineer (red, but close: makes a token on ETB)
2. Ongoing Investigation (blue: repeatedly investigates)
3. Ulvenwald Mysteries (green: similar investigate theme)
4. Thraben Inspector (white: smaller, but investigates)
5. Solemn Simulacrum (colorless: ETB value, not investigate)

Closest blue option: Ongoing Investigation.

Reason: Drownyard Explorers is unique in blue for its investigate-on-ETB effect; most similar cards are in other colors or less direct.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

    Rules

  • If a nontoken creature dies at the same time as Ulvenwald Mysteries leaves the battlefield, the first ability triggers. Similarly, if Ulvenwald Mysteries isn’t a token and has become a creature, it dying will cause its own first ability to trigger.
  • If you sacrifice a Clue as part of casting a spell or activating an ability, the last ability will resolve before that spell or ability.
  • The last ability is a triggered ability, not an activated ability. It doesn’t allow you to sacrifice a Clue whenever you want; rather, you need some other way of sacrificing it, such as the activated ability that Clue tokens have.
