Yeah lots of flavor... "Contact the army. We're going to need tons of soldiers to investigate the murder of this creature. Because it had really big teeth."

Somebody call the Boros. It's gonna take a LOT of soldiers to move this dead Worldspine Wurm.

Or rather, if a big creature could be killed, it's likely it died of a swarm of attackers, we need more soldiers to handle this organized crime.

"It was Dimir. The three penetrating blades are trademarked by Dimir.
So why was it so public? So obvious?
Because the Dimir needed a distraction. The Boros are equally as likely to go after them as a random murder, while the Azorius are far to aloof to even care about individual murders.
So what do they need a distraction for?
It's uncertain, but that is typical of Dimir activities. Perhaps the bystander would know something about (or they might even be involved in it).
So what is the evidence?
...It appears to have been destroyed, but to what end?
And why would this have been so obvious?
Is it really obvious?
I think it is!
It obviously isn't. What a foolish thought!
I'm sorry, who are you?
Who am I!? I was here before any of you low life-
The Obzedat! Their moving to action! Now!"

Worldspine Wurm + Murder Investigation + Cathars' Crusade. Sure it is a big expensive combo, but in things like EDH, simple to pull off. And when it dose, its like:
Soldier: "Uhh...boss we got a dead Worldspine Wurm, and he just decayed into 3 more wurms....we are going to need to call in Cathars' crusade."

*Incomes 15 soldiers that are 19/19 and 3 wurms that are 23/23*

Random peasent: "THE END OF THE WORLD IS HERE!! NOT EVEN AN ACT OF BLASPHOMY WILL HELP US NOW!!!!"

Run it with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed....

Local priest: "Only the wrath of god can save us now."

Not bad. Kind of grindy. I would call it out for being an aura, but I suppose that doesn't matter much in this case, now does it? 3/5

With a Field Marshal and/or Captain of the Watch, your soldiers can start multiplying and it rapidly gets out of hand.

I play this in an esper aura deck with lots of Ethereal Armor Really solid card. If the tokens were human or flying spirit tokens, this would be broken as hell.

Guys, would this card works with Kaldra's equipments... since when you have 9/9 avatar in play, If I understand correctly, attaching this aura on it, and paying additional 1 mana, to create another avatar, legend rule would put them both in to graveyard... would murder than put 9x 1/1 soldiers in to play?

This card combos hilariously with Merieke Ri Berit in EDH.

Just add something to uptap her and you get:

Ooh, that's a big creature you have there!
YOINK!
Murder investigation.
Untap Merieke.
Poof!
Monster gone and plenty of tokens!

Nobody seems to care about poor Ornithopter getting Murdered...


And @pedrodyl: it still matters. Your creature can be killed in response to to aura being cast, thereby getting the 2-for-1 and avoiding the soldier tokens.

@Crobat

No. Legendaries are put into the graveyard as a state based effect, it's not considered "dying".

Is the pun that the power also means influential so its power is both literal power and influence?

@ObsidianWyvern
Going to the graveyard from the battlefield IS calling "dying".
