Official rulings
Two official rulings apply to Zuko's Exile, newest first.
- Clue tokens are artifact tokens with "{2}, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card."
- Creating a Clue token this way isn't the same thing as investigating. Notably, an ability that triggers whenever you investigate won't trigger because of creating a Clue token this way.
