Reminder card. Eliminate the Impossible: look at target opponent's hand and exile a card from it face down. That card is eliminated for the rest of the game. You may look at eliminated cards at any time.

This deck SUBTRACTS. It does not guess a card in an opponent's hand and it does not collect evidence about one: it removes the card from the game and is then paid for the size of the hole. Cards read the count in four forms only: for each eliminated card; as long as or if N or more cards are eliminated; as long as or if a card was eliminated this turn; and Whenever a card is eliminated, as a trigger. Two cards read the clause backwards — the violin and the syringe work only if NO card was eliminated this turn, because that is boredom. What remains in a hand you have emptied of the impossible, however improbable, is the truth.

The Irregulars: create a 1/1 white Human Urchin creature token named Baker Street Irregular. It can't attack, and it has ': Look at target opponent's hand, or look at the top two cards of target player's library, or look at all face-down cards target player controls.' Twenty-four of them, a shilling each. They are the eyes and they never fight.

“It is a capital mistake to theorise before you have data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories instead of theories to suit facts.”
