Description

Collecting evidence involves a player exiling any number of cards from their graveyard with combined mana value equal to, or greater than, N (the evidence number). Collecting is done as a cost, mechanically similar to Bargain or Kicker, where doing so is optional and gives a bonus to the spell if "evidence is collected". It can also be used on Ward costs.[2]

Example

Example

Analyze the Pollen {G}
Sorcery
As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may collect evidence 8. (Exile cards with total mana value 8 or greater from your graveyard.)
Search your library for a basic land card. If evidence was collected, instead search your library for a creature or land card. Reveal that card, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
