    Merchant of Truth

    Creature — Angel Detective

    Merchant of Truth

    Illustrated by Carissa Susilo

    EDHREC Rank #6,505
    Flying Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, investigate. Clues you control have exalted. (Whenever a creature you control attacks alone, that creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn for each instance of exalted among permanents you control.)

    Some spells and abilities that investigate may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won’t resolve. You won’t create any Clue tokens.

    If Merchant of Truth dies at the same time as one or more other nontoken creatures you control, its second ability will trigger for each of those creatures.

    Feb 2, 2024

    A creature attacks alone if it’s the only creature declared as an attacker during the declare attackers step (including creatures controlled by your teammates, if applicable). For example, exalted won’t trigger if you attack with multiple creatures and all but one of them are removed from combat. Similarly, creatures that enter the battlefield attacking later in combat won’t affect exalted abilities that have already triggered or resolved.
