Rulings
- 2016-04-08 · wotc — 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.
- 2016-04-08 · wotc — 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.
- 2016-04-08 · wotc — 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.
- 2016-04-08 · wotc — 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.
