Deck Description

This deck is built around the Investigate mechanic. It generates a large quantity of clue tokens, then uses those tokens to draw cards, beef up creatures, and gain life. I was intrigued by the investigate mechanic, and impressed at how well it fit the theme of Shadows Over Innistrad set.

I wanted to build something that captured the feel of being on a hot trail; each clue building momentum and suspense.

Key players are:

Tireless Tracker: generates a large number of clues, and gets +1/+1 token each time a clue is sacrificed.

Bloodbriar: gets +1/+1 token each time a permanent is sacrificed

Daring Sleuth: plays early, then transforms when a clue is sacrificed. In his new form he has prowess, and generates more clues.

Supporting cast:

Byway Courier: Mid range strength for 2g, generates clues when it dies.

Erdwal Illuminator: A cheap flyer with low/med toughness that generates and extra clue the first time you investigate each turn.

Graf Mole: Gain 3 life for each clue you sacrifice.

Pilgrim's Eye: Flying, search your deck for a land

Wild Field Scarecrow: Good blocker, and can be sacrifice for 2 land.

Sorceries:

Press for Answers: Locks up an opponent's creature for one turn and generate's a clue

Root Out: Destroy an enchantment or artifact and generate a clue

Instants:

Disperse: fairly cheap removal

Confront the Unknown: Generates a clue, then gives a creature +1/+1 for each clue you control.

Negate: Cancel non-creature spells for 1b

Jace's Scrutiny: give a creature -4 strength and generate a clue.

Enchantments:

Trail of Evidence: Creates a clue for each instant or sorcery you cast
