Hold for Questioning

{3}{U}Enchantment — Aura

Enchant creature or planeswalker

When this Aura enters, tap enchanted permanent and investigate. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")

Enchanted permanent doesn't untap during its controller's untap step and its activated abilities can't be activated.
