Whenever a face-down creature you control dies, exile it if it's an instant or sorcery card. You may cast that card until the end of your next turn.

Where it came from
Cryptic Pursuit was released in 2022 as part of the promotional suite for the Streets of New Capenna Commander set. It was designed to support the set's thematic focus on the crime-ridden, art-deco-inspired metropolis of New Capenna, functioning as a blue enchantment that rewards players for casting spells from exile, a mechanic heavily featured within the set's Izzet-colored archetypes.
The card features artwork by Marc Simonetti, a celebrated French illustrator known for his work on fantasy book covers and concept art. Simonetti utilized his signature cinematic, high-contrast style to depict the card's abstract narrative of a magical investigation, emphasizing the dark, noir-steeped atmosphere that defined the visual identity of the New Capenna expansion.
