Collect Evidence should have just been called Collect or Research or something, because the mechanic itself is honestly pretty flexible. It also has the big advantage that you don't need extra gameplay trackers, unique tokens, or special frame treatments to reuse it. Mechanics like that feel surprisingly rare in this day and age.

I honestly wonder how different Magic would be if the design team had a hard limit of one new mechanic per set for a few years...

I think this will either be some sort of "Vehiclefall" mechanic, or something that cares about when you crew a vehicle. Perhaps it will be an ability word for "whenever you crew this vehicle?" I would say it's for "whenever you crew a vehicle," but I think that is less likely because there are also Mounts in the set. Either way, I think this is a fun space to explore in the Vehicle set!

Could be "whenever you crew a Vehicle OR saddle a Mount"? even though Mounts don't have engines... most of them

Investigate's more flexible than you give it credit for, there's at least two examples already where it isn't mystery-themed but makes perfect sense to me at least:

I don't actually think Investigate would have been keyworded if Shadows Over Innistrad had been released today: I think a big reason they did it that way was because they had never done a non-creature artifact token as a set theme before other than as a one-of thing in a given set.
