Dogged Detective 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

When this creature enters, surveil 2. (Look at the top two cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.) Whenever an opponent draws their second card each turn, you may return this card from your graveyard to your hand.

How it works : Dogged Detective

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    When you surveil, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards into your graveyard, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them into your graveyard.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Dogged Detective doesn't need to be in the graveyard when the first card is drawn for its last ability to trigger. As long as it is in the graveyard when an opponent draws their second card in a turn, it will trigger.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
