"Find me cards equivalent to: Ongoing Investigation"

Equivalent cards to Ongoing Investigation (with similar color and type):
1. Search the City (Blue, Enchantment, investigates-on-attack theme via exile/library interaction, though no direct Clue tokens)
2. Bident of Thassa (Blue, Enchantment/Artifact, draw cards when creatures deal combat damage)
3. Tamiyo's Journal (Colorless, but works in similar decks: generates Clues over time)
4. Trail of Evidence (Blue, Enchantment, investigate when casting an instant or sorcery)
5. Secrets of the Dead (Blue, Enchantment, card draw on flashback—draw advantage for graveyard play)

None are exact, but Ongoing Investigation is unique for tying both clues and lifegain/exile effect; Trail of Evidence is the closest blue clue engine.

  • If a creature can't attack for any reason (such as being tapped or having come under that player's control that turn), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having a creature attack, the player isn't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.
  • The controller of each attacking creature still chooses which player or planeswalker that creature attacks.

    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.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, if you control more than one creature that can attack, you may have them attack different opponents so that Ongoing Investigation's first ability triggers twice.
  • 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.
