    Flying Investigate

    Rules

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Investigate

    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.
