Enchantment3 generic manaGreen mana

Green almost never wants creatures in the graveyard to stay there, and this enchantment inverts that instinct into an engine: it pays you for the exodus rather than the burial. The trigger keys off creature cards leaving your graveyard, so the natural partners are the recursion and reanimation effects that would otherwise generate value invisibly. Regrowth a fallen threat, reanimate a Gravedigger, or exile your yard wholesale to a delve or escape cost, and the departure itself manufactures a body plus a card. That "one or more" wording is the quiet lever: mass graveyard interaction, the kind that hauls a stack of creatures out at once, still only mints a single Detective and a single Clue per event, but a wide sweep across a game's worth of loops adds up. What makes the design coherent is that it never asks you to build a dedicated shell; it grafts onto graveyard churn you were already running and skims a tempo-neutral toll off the top. The Detective token and the investigate rider both feed the same detective-and-Clue subtheme this kind of card belongs to, so the payoff is a small board presence and a delayed cantrip rather than an explosive turn. It is a patient value piece, rewarding decks that treat the graveyard as a resource to be spent repeatedly rather than a one-way trip.
