Axebane Ferox — Grim Tracker of Karlov
Axebane Ferox arrives as a compact but lethal presence on the battlefield. The 4/4 body pairs deathtouch with haste so it can trade immediately and still threaten tempo. Its ward ability, Collect evidence 4, shifts the interaction away from simple removal and toward graveyard management; opponents must exile cards with total mana value four or greater from their graveyard or lose their targeting spell or ability.
Use Axebane Ferox in midrange green decks that want an efficient attacker and a deterrent to removal. It reads well alongside graveyard strategies and sacrifice synergies since opponents will hesitate to feed their yard to answer it. A touch of Karlov Manor lore lives in the card art and reminder text as the beast seems to patrol ruins while guarding whatever clues it has scavenged.
