Follow the Bodies

Gravestorm is the graveyard-facing cousin of Storm, and it has always been the harder of the two to pay off: where Storm counts spells cast, Gravestorm counts permanents that died from the battlefield this turn, so the copies come from bodies hitting the yard, not from a chain of rituals. That count is the whole engine here, and pairing it with Investigate is a tidy piece of value math. Each copy is another Clue, so a turn where a board full of tokens gets wiped, or a big sacrifice outlet fires, converts a wave of death triggers into a stack of card-draw artifacts you cash in on your own schedule. The design does something Storm rarely allows: it hands you deferred, sacrificeable card advantage rather than an immediate burst, which lets the payoff survive graveyard hate and spreads the draw across future turns. The tension is that Gravestorm asks you to want your permanents dead, so the spell wants a board built around fodder, edicts, and mass removal, and it rewards holding until the moment the graveyard fills. Cast into an empty turn it Investigates once and does nothing else; cast in the wake of a wrath it becomes a fistful of clues. It is a rare instance of the Gravestorm keyword married to an effect that scales cleanly without needing a combo, and the Clue as the copied payload is what keeps the ceiling flexible rather than explosive.
