About Root Out
Root Out, Sorcery, designed by Daniel Ljunggren first released in April 2016 in the set Shadows over Innistrad and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.03.
A deck that focuses on controlling the board by removing key artifacts or enchantments while generating card advantage would benefit from including Root Out. However, there are more efficient options like Naturalize or Reclamation Sage that provide similar effects at a lower cost or with additional benefits. Root Out could see play in specific metagames where the Investigate ability is particularly valuable, but in general, there are better options available.
Rules
04/08/2016
Clue is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some cards with other permanent types, it's never a creature type, a land type, or anything but an artifact type.
04/08/2016
If an effect refers to a Clue, it means any Clue artifact, not just a Clue artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Wrench to pay for Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's activated ability.
04/08/2016
You can't cast a spell without choosing legal targets. If all of those targets become illegal, the spell doesn't resolve and you won't investigate.
04/08/2016
You can't sacrifice a Clue to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Clue token to activate its own ability and also to activate Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth's ability.
