Collect evidence is a keyword introduced in Murders at Karlov Manor.[1]
Description
Collecting evidence involves a player exiling any number of cards from their graveyard with total mana value equal to, or greater than, 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.
Example
Example
Analyze the Pollen
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.
