According to r/mtgrules, Investigate X triggers Marneus' draw X times. The reference usually linked as proof is Full Flowering's scryfall page, where it is stated that with "Populate X times" the tokens enter the battlefield one at a time

Such a cool commander, some how both generically strong and specific enough to give a direction to build around. As an aside it would be cool to see some decks that instead of just following the less then a dollar per card were ways to upgrade and rework precons. still use the rule for cards that are added but allow cards over the limit that are in the same precon as a commander to be used.

@LukeChudoba Жыл бұрын
Calgar is super hungry for mana. So try to take mana rocks and lands that come into play untapped. Tapped mana rocks and lands really hold this deck back. If your deck is set up with 20 to 25 token generating cards there is roughly a 1 in 4 chance that every card you play will draw another card you could play. So he can go on total chain reactions but the limiter is how much mana he has access to that turn, so he needs mana immediately. If you cannot get good untapped dual lands then just use basic lands because this deck tends to need the mana immediately. I admit to using 3 search lands like terramorphic expanse that bring the mana into play tapped. But those search lands have the added effect of reducing the size of my deck and increasing the percentage chance that I draw the cards I want. So I am willing to take that burden of having tapped land, but only on the lands that provide such a large additional effect.

Doesn't investigate X trigger separately? Like for Ethereal Investigator where it ETBs and you investigate X times where X is the number of opponents. Wouldn't you create a clue token 3 separate times and then get 3 separate Marneus draws?

No, because all the tokens are created by the same ability an Marneus says "one or more tokens", he only sees one token creation instance and triggers only once not caring about the number of tokens, if he said "whenever a token" then he would trigger multiple times

@Marcellusmars15 ай бұрын
You are right for during your opponents turns, but Combat Calligrapher also states whenever ‘A’ player attacks one of your opponents, so this also includes when you attack an opponent on your turn, it creates tokens for you and thus triggering Marnues Calgar. Hope that makes sense!
