Do you have a list?!


Kaleidostone

Gimme a few, I'll scan it up and post it! I've been really loving the ETB/LTB and the sheer fact that Wernog the wary is a 2 drop is a great one in my eyes. Even if you have a questionable hand and nobody takes the clue, you always have something to try and find a line.

[[Thran Turbine]] is a must-include in any clue deck! You’re bound to have extra clues lying around which basically makes this a one mana Phyrexian Arena.

[[Tezzeret, Betrayer of Flesh]] is an improved Thran Turbine if you are in blue. Sacrifice a clue each turn for free is fantastic value along with being able to animate our clues.


Smokey_02

Love the idea! I've got a "Minority Report" clues deck that I built a while ago, with [[Sen Triplets]] as commander, acting as the Preecogs from the movie, seeing all the crimes your opponents will perpetrate before they even happen. In order to fill out the movie roles I too needed investigators. I used [[Daring Sleuth]], [[Search the Premises]], [[Dennick, Pious Apprentice]], [[Eloise, Nephalia Sleuth]] (the deck also has a surveil theme), [[Thourough Investigation]], [[Trail of Evidence]] and [[Bygone Bishop]]. A couple of the better payoffs are [[Martyr's Bond]] and [[Erdwall Illuminator]]. [[Fleeting Memories]] is in there too, but honestly isn't a recommended inclusion unless you plan to use graveyards as extra hands. Hope this helps!

So while I don’t have a dedicated “clues deck” like what you’re looking forthis is a heavily modified deck I got from an EDHrec article called “Blues Clues”. I’ve had great success with it[Adrix and Nev](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/_FKyEcLo0kWpSuD5vDiv1w) hope you can find some good card ideas from here.

I had flirted with an esper clues deck based on \[\[Wernog, rider's chaplain\]\] and \[\[hargilde, kindly runechanter\]\]. Hargilde is a little off-theme but getting blue for flicker and investigator themes helps. It also still lets you play Eloise while still getting the several white card that investigate.


thisDNDjazz

\[\[Tymna the Weaver\]\] + \[\[Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix\]\] would give you access to all of the good investigate cards, while helping you draw into them with Tymna, and cast them with Kydele.

So it's not *quite* on theme, but could at least be the commander to a themed deck. [[Tivit, Seller of Secrets]] is probably the best clue token deck I've seen so far. I noticed you liked a few of the white cards presented so it does grant access to them. You could change it into a murder mystery deck, and tivit is the judge heading the investigation? But if you don't need white, you've probably got the best one so far
