Tap target creature. It doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step.
Investigate. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "
, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")
TAPpa una creatura bersaglio. Non STAPpa durante il prossimo STAP del suo controllore.
Indaga. (Metti sul campo di battaglia una pedina artefatto Indizio incolore con ", Sacrifica questo artefatto: Pesca una carta".)
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.
You can't cast a spell without choosing legal targets. If all of those targets become illegal, the spell doesn't resolve and you won't investigate.
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.
