    Whenever this creature is dealt 3 or more damage, investigate. (Create a Clue token. It's an artifact with " 2 generic mana , Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.")

    "Whoops, this isn't my street! Don't mind me! I'll just be on my way while you enjoy your . . . very sharp knives."

    Clue is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some cards with other permanent types, it's never a creature type, a land type, or anything but an artifact type.

    If an effect refers to a Clue, it means any Clue artifact, not just a Clue artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Wrench to pay for Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's activated ability.

    Some abilities trigger "whenever you sacrifice a Clue". Those abilities trigger whenever you sacrifice a Clue for any reason, not just to activate a Clue's activated ability.
