    Abilities/Keywords

    Rules

  • Creating a Clue token this way isn't the same thing as investigating. Notably, an ability that triggers whenever you investigate won't trigger because you created a Clue token due to this replacement effect. If the original token creation was because you investigated once, those abilities will still each trigger once, no matter how many Clue tokens you end up creating.
  • If you control eighteen Academy Manufactors (I don't know, you figure it out) and would create some number of Clue, Food, or Treasure tokens, you will instead create 129,140,163 times that many Clue tokens, 129,140,163 times that many Food tokens, and 129,140,163 times that many Treasure tokens.
  • If you control one Academy Manufactor and would create some number of Clue, Food, or Treasure tokens, you will instead create that many Clue tokens, that many Food tokens, and that many Treasure tokens.
  • If you control two Academy Manufactors and would create some number of Clue, Food, or Treasure tokens, you will instead create three times that many Clue tokens, three times that many Food tokens, and three times that many Treasure tokens.

    Rules

  • Eloise's last ability triggers whenever you sacrifice any token for any reason, not just whenever you sacrifice Clue tokens.
  • If you create a token that's a copy of Eloise and both are legendary, you will choose either the token or the original Eloise to keep and put the other into the graveyard. This is not the same as sacrificing it. Putting the token into the graveyard won't cause nontoken Eloise's last ability to trigger.
  • If you sacrifice a Clue token, Eloise's last ability will trigger in response. You'll surveil before drawing the card.

The last ability you put on the stack will be the first one to resolve (As a result, you can have those abilities resolve in the order of your choosing.).
