Carte Magic Senator Peacock

Senator Peacock 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

Artifacts you control are Clues in addition to their other types and have "{2}, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card." Whenever you sacrifice a Clue, target creature can't be blocked this turn.

How it works : Senator Peacock

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The artifacts retain any types, subtypes, supertypes, and abilities they have.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If Senator Peacock somehow becomes an artifact, it will also be a Clue.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Clue is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some cards with other permanent types, it's never a creature type, a land type, or anything but an artifact type.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    If an effect refers to a Clue, it means any Clue artifact, not just a Clue artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Wrench to pay for Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's activated ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    You can't sacrifice a Clue to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Clue token to activate its own ability and also to activate Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    Some spells and abilities that investigate may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't create any Clue tokens.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  7. #7· Wizards of the Coast

    Some abilities trigger "whenever you sacrifice a Clue". Those abilities trigger whenever you sacrifice a Clue for any reason, not just to activate a Clue's activated ability.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
