  1. I had a cycle of "Clues matter" cards all lined up for next weeks Castmire challenge, but then in this episode you A.) Riffed on the heart of the idea, and B.) said you would only discuss a single card. So here's the cycle I was going to submit based on trope-y turns of phase.

    To summarize, it's a cycle of 3-mana enchantments that investigate when they ETB and grant additional sac effects to Clues. The activation cost on them ascend in color pie order from 0-5 skipping 2, (since all Clues already have a 2-cost sac ability). The names range from "Tells you exactly what this card does," to, "Oh, I think I get it."
