Ongoing Investigation is fantastic. I am also guilty of missing the "Investigate" on the 2nd ability when I first saw the card. Ever since adding it to the cube, it's been an all-star. It's not always good, especially when you get it too late, but early/mid game it can really generate some serious value over the course of the game.
It's a grindy, grindy card and it doesn't take long for it to outvalue an opponent. It's super fun to play with and super obnoxious to play against.

Any what are some substitutes for the pricier cards like Bob or seal?
Here it is!
It's been fine, good late game mana sink and it becomes even harder to trade for value.
I would like to try Ongoing Investigation, would you cut trygon predator or shardless agent?
