Murder Investigation is one of the newest cards spoiled from Wizards of the Coast's upcoming expert "Magic: The Gathering" expansion set "Gatecrash."
Murder Investigation - 1W
Enchantment - Aura (Uncommon)
Enchant creature you control
When enchanted creature dies, put X 1/1 white soldier creature tokens onto the battlefield, where X is its power.
"Every death has a web of consequences. Our job is to find the spider."
Revealed today in an article by Mark Gottlieb on Wizards.com, Murder Investigation has the potential to be incredibly powerful.
An early Champion of the Parish can grow incredibly fast thanks to Gather the Townsfolk, Thatcher Revolt, and Thraben Doomsayer. Murdered in a gruesome fashion, a Murder Investigation will leave Sublime Archangel with a healthy amount of exalted creatures. If she's too rich to afford in your deck, Cathar's Crusade does the trick nicely and is a considerably better option because all of your creatures will grow into massive threats.
Massive threats like Ghoultree are a fine target for a Murder Investigation because your opponent is forced to deal with it. Once they've cast that Ultimate Price or Dreadbore they'll be overrun by a swarm of Soldier creature tokens.
How will you use Murder Investigation?
