Auspicious Arrival — Timely Insight
Auspicious Arrival is a compact instant that does what you expect and does it cleanly. Cast it for {1}{W} to give a target creature +2/+2 until end of turn and Investigate. That instant timing makes it a reliable combat trick, a way to push damage through, or a defensive lift that buys a crucial blocker one more turn. The light play foil showcase art also makes it a neat inclusion for Arena focused decks and table play where presentation matters.
In the Murders at Karlov Manor frame this spell reads like an Azorius procedural nudge. Investigate creates a Clue token and ties the mechanic into longer game plans that value card advantage and incremental gains. Use it to protect a creature that must survive a trade or to surprise an opponent in response to a removal spell. Experienced players will appreciate the straightforward tempo boost and the small synergy with artifact sacrifice or token value lines.
