Chalk Outline — Trace the Lead Chalk Outline is an enchantment that rewards graveyard play and incremental advantage. For {3}{G} you get a persistent engine: whenever one or more creature cards leave your graveyard you create a 2/2 white and blue Detective creature token and then investigate. The token gives board presence while the investigate trigger replaces tempo with card selection through Clue tokens, letting you convert sacrifice value into card draw.
This card fits well in graveyard recursion decks and value oriented builds that want repeatable blockers and sources of information. The synergy is straightforward; reanimation, flicker, or self mill provide reliable triggers. In lore terms the chalk outline marks where evidence formed into answers, and on the table it turns each graveyard departure into a small but steady advantage for patient pilots.
