Blue/Black Investigate Mechanic and Ominous Seas
A strange mystery is brewing in the alleys of New Capenna …. Dark clues and unanswered questions whisper on the chill night breeze, bearing with them the copper tang of blood and the salt tang of the sea. A strange package appears on a doorstep; creatures with bulging eyes peer from the clouds as evening falls, and in an empty library, a bookshelf slides away from a wall, guided by an unseen hand …
Dirty Secrets uses removal spells like Foul Play and Tragic Slip to disappear your opponent’s creatures, while evasion and damage trigger combos like Security Bypass and Curiosity wear your opponent down. Investigate triggers bring in valuable Clues, which you can use to spring an early Junk Winder. And all the while, card draw after card draw, you’re adding foreshadow counters to your Ominous Seas, drawing ever nearer to the stunning solution of the mystery …
Maybe I should call it “Dirty Sea-Crets?”
