Behind the Mask — Quietly Rework the Board
Behind the Mask is a compact blue instant that lets you trade the graveyard for a board answer. Cast it at instant speed to turn a problematic creature or artifact into an artifact creature with base power and toughness 4/3. The spell pairs cleanup and disruption in a single package and fits naturally into control shells that want flexible answers without committing to removal spells.
The Murders at Karlov Manor foil printing is Near Mint and shows the artwork detail clearly. You can pay the optional additional cost to collect evidence 6 by exiling cards from your graveyard with total mana value 6 or greater. If you do collect evidence the transformed permanent becomes a 1/1 artifact creature instead which can be relevant in combat tricks or combo interactions. This is a card that reads well with graveyard decks and artifact synergies while staying straightforward to sequence in tight turns.
