Whenever one or more creature cards leave your graveyard, create a 2/2 white and blue Detective creature token, then investigate. (Create a Clue token. It’s an artifact with “, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.”)
"In your search for a suspect, never forget that the most important person is the victim."
—Ezrim, Agency chief
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.

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.

Some spells and abilities that investigate may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't create any Clue tokens.
Random a card of Magic: The Gathering (MTG), but you can also roll the D20 dice, random a Planeswalker, have fun with the random rules and more.
