Carte Magic Cunning Maneuver

Cunning Maneuver is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Target creature gets +3/+1 until end of turn. Create a Clue token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")

How it works : Cunning Maneuver

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Creating a Clue token this way isn't the same thing as investigating. Notably, an ability that triggers whenever you investigate won't trigger because of creating a Clue token this way.

    Card named in this ruling

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Clue tokens are artifact tokens with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card."
