"Find me cards equivalent to: Detective of the Month"

Cards with similar attributes (blue, focuses on card draw, tokens, Detectives, unblockability, or Ascend) include:

  • Detective of the Month (original reference)
  • Drogskol Reinforcements: Also creates Detective tokens (UW, not exactly the same, but closely related).
  • Faerie Vandal: Blue, rewards drawing your second card each turn (gets +1/+1 counters).
  • Nadir Kraken: Blue, creates tokens as you draw cards.
  • Bribery Specialist: Blue, has synergy with clues (Detective theme).
  • Mistcloak Herald: Blue, can’t be blocked (shares unblockable aspect).
  • Deeproot Elite: Blue, incentivizes tribal interaction (not detectives, but similar function).

Closest equivalents are Detective of the Month and Drogskol Reinforcements for Detective tribal and token creation when drawing cards. No exact replacement for all effects, but these offer partial overlap.

    City's Blessing Detective

    Abilities/Keywords

    Ascend

    Rules

  • A permanent is any object on the battlefield, including tokens and lands. Spells and emblems aren’t permanents.
  • Ascend on a permanent isn’t a triggered ability and doesn’t use the stack. Players can respond to a spell that will give you your tenth permanent, but they can’t respond to you getting the city’s blessing once you control that tenth permanent. This means that if your tenth permanent is a land you play, players can’t respond before you get the city’s blessing.
  • Gaining the city’s blessing after a Detective you control has become blocked won’t cause that Detective to become unblocked.
  • If you cast a spell with ascend, you don't get the city’s blessing until it resolves. Players may respond to that spell by trying to change whether you get the city’s blessing.
  • If you control ten permanents but don’t control a permanent or resolving spell with ascend, you don’t get the city’s blessing. For example, if you control ten permanents, lose control of two, then cast Detective of the Month, you won’t have the city’s blessing.
  • If your tenth permanent enters the battlefield and then a permanent leaves the battlefield immediately afterwards (most likely due to the “legend rule” or due to being a creature with 0 toughness), you get the city’s blessing before it leaves the battlefield.
  • Once you have the city’s blessing, you have it for the rest of the game, even if you lose control of some or all your permanents. The city’s blessing isn’t a permanent itself and can’t be removed by any effect.

    Flash Flying

    Rules

  • If a spell or ability causes you to put cards into your hand without specifically using the word "draw," it's not a card drawn.
  • If an effect instructs you to draw multiple cards, the ability triggers after you draw whichever is the second one for the turn. You choose a target (if any) for the ability after you've drawn and looked at all of the cards and finished resolving the spell or ability that caused you to draw them.
  • The triggered ability can trigger only once each turn. It doesn't matter whether the permanent with that ability was on the battlefield when the first card was drawn. If it's not on the battlefield when the second card is drawn, the ability can't trigger at all that turn. It won't trigger when the third or fourth card is drawn.
