Creature — Human Soldier
When this creature enters, investigate. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "
, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")
"If you've been at this as long as I have, nothing can surprise you. That's the hope, at least."

Rulings (3)
- 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.
- 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.
