This deck began as a U/R artifact deck, but while I was building it I had the idea of using Clue tokens from SOI as a resource beyond their card draw ability. So, that made me think of effects like Doubling Season making extra Clue tokens.

From there, I moved my artifacts and blue cards over from the U/R deck brewing, then added the green Investigate cards as well as some token support from green.

Card in my Maybeboard are ones that were part of the larger group of cards I considered. I'm keeping them around in case I change my mind, but tentatively they've been cut from the deck.
