Official rulings
- Clue tokens are artifact tokens with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card." (2025-10-02)
- Messenger Hawk's last ability applies even if you drew two or more cards only before Messenger Hawk entered. (2025-10-02)
- 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. (2025-10-02)
- If a spell or ability causes you to put cards into your hand without specifically using the word "draw," Messenger Hawk's ability doesn't count them. (2025-10-02)
