Follow the Bodies — Trail the Clues
Follow the Bodies is a focused tool for blue commanders who want to turn removal into resource advantage. At three mana it resolves as a sorcery that creates a Gravestorm stack while producing a clue token through Investigate. Use it when a single target death can become a multi target sweep or when you need that extra clue to fuel translate or draw. The extended art emphasizes the set mood and suits decks that lean into sacrifice triggers and graveyard synergies.
From a gameplay standpoint this card scales with quantity. One cast can feel like a single interaction. Cast it after a board clearing spell or when opponents are trading creatures and it becomes a chain. The flavor ties into Karlov Manor investigations and fits control players who value incremental advantage and converted threats over flashy turns. Experienced pilots will note the timing and sequencing choices that maximize the Gravestorm value while turning clues into card advantage.
