UH-OH !! I THINK I'VE GOT A MASSSSSIVE CLUE, POINTING OVER THERE !
The goal here is to investigate clues as much as possible, and having as much mana as possible available.
Here's how it works:
Tireless Tracker
+
Void Winnower
or Kiora, Master of the Depths are to me the key to win.
Sacrificing clues with multiple Tireless Tracker on the board can give them +6/+6 counters and up pretty quickly, and with the help of
Rogue's Passage
, your strongest creature can be unblockable.
Void Winnower can be spawned for 0 mana with the help of Briarbridge Patrol + Tamiyo's Journal
. Their "Sacrifice 3 Clues" ability can put a Void Winnower on the board in a single move.
Kiora, Master of the Depths's -8 ability brings the emblem, + 3 8/8 octopuses. The fight bonus of the emblem is pretty great, and can help a lot to end, or go to the end of a game.
Any creature can be boosted significantly with the help of
Confront the Unknown
. Having a lot of clues ready to go could be devastating to the opponent. Even more in combination with
Rogue's Passage
ability.
For the early game,
Sylvan Advocate
,
Erdwal Illuminator
and Blisterpod are your friends.
Sylvan Advocate
is great because of Vigilence, and becomes a strong creature after dropping a couple of lands. Erdwall illuminator doubles the first investigation of your turn, and has flying.
Blisterpods can die without too much trouble, because Ulvenwald Mysteries will make you investigate. The death of the Blisterpod makes a Scion token enter the battlefield. In combination with Cryptolith Rite, these tokens can give you 2 mana in the same turn: Tap it to trigger Cryptolith Rite, sacrifice it for it's mana.
You should try to play Tamiyo's Journal as soon as possible. This artifact guarantees to have at least one clue per turn. With
Erdwal Illuminator
, this becomes 2 clues per turn. And as I said, it's "Sacrifice 3 clues" ability, in combination with Briarbridge Patrol's second ability, could put a [Void Winnower] instantly on the battlefield. While adding counters on Tireless Tracker!
Kiora, Master of the Depths, helps a lot with it's +1, untaps a creature and/or a land. Now with the help of Cryptolith Rite, this could meand an additional 2 mana on the end turn. The -2 is great too, in case you're not drawing what you'd want. This also populates the graveyard, which could help Traverse the Ulvenwald's Delirium effect.
Rabid Bite Could deal massive damage in combination with
Confront the Unknown
, and even more using a boosted Tireless Tracker or Void Winnower. This card might help dealing with very tough ennemy creatures.
Evolving Wilds with Tireless Tracker works really well, because or Tireless Tracker's way of investigation, playing & sacrificing Evolving Wilds on the same turn generates 2 clues per Tireless Tracker.
Rogue's Passage
could be helpful to deal massive damage to the player.
Skyline Cascade
's tap effect can prevent being blocked by a strong opponent creature.
Please note: The sideboard is not complete, but more control from blue cards might be necessary against certain types of decks.
Please comment :D !
