"Find me cards equivalent to: Homicide Investigator"

Equivalent cards to Homicide Investigator (black, benefits from your creatures dying and generating Clues or similar value):

  • Homicide Investigator
  • Pitiless Plunderer (Whenever another nontoken creature you control dies, create a Treasure token. Similar trigger, different token.)
  • Morbid Opportunist (Whenever one or more other creatures die, draw a card. Triggers once each turn, slightly different reward.)
  • Skullport Merchant (Can generate Treasure by sacrificing creatures or artifacts, black, supports dies triggers.)


Reason: All are black, interact with your creatures dying, and provide repeatable value. None are Detective but the function is very similar.

    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.
  • Homicide Investigator's ability triggers when it dies if it's not a token.
  • If Homicide Investigator dies at the same time as one or more other nontoken creatures you control, Homicide Investigator's ability triggers for each of them.
