Official rulings

Two official rulings apply to Piper Wright, Publick Reporter, newest first.

  • If an effect refers to a Clue, it means any Clue artifact, not just a Clue artifact token. For example, if you sacrifice a nontoken Clue artifact, such as Candy Trail from the Wilds of Eldraine set, Piper Wright's last ability will trigger.
  • Piper Wright's last ability triggers whenever you sacrifice a Clue for any reason, not just to activate a Clue's activated ability.
