Evidence Examiner is a compact Merfolk Detective that fits naturally in midrange control and graveyard toolbox decks. For a cost of {1}{U}{B} you get a 2/2 body and a repeatable source of card advantage. At the beginning of combat on your turn you may collect evidence 4 by exiling cards from your graveyard with total mana value four or greater. Each time you collect evidence you investigate which produces a Clue token you can pay to sacrifice for a card draw.
Play patterns lean toward timing and resource management. The Examiner rewards decks that fill the graveyard and schedule attacks carefully so you can trigger evidence at the start of combat. It pairs with sacrifice outlets, recursion, and cards that capitalize on artifacts. The card reads like a small engine rather than a threat you must protect at all costs; use it to grind value over the long game and keep pressure with incremental advantage.
