Benthic Criminologists — Underwater Sleuths
Benthic Criminologists is a compact engine for card advantage in blue decks that want interaction without tapping mana. For the cost of {4}{U} you get a 4 5 body that rewards artifact synergies. Whenever Benthic Criminologists enters the battlefield or attacks, you may sacrifice an artifact. If you do, draw a card. That trigger reads like a currency exchange between board presence and card flow. In practice this card fits well where sacrificial outlets or cheap artifacts are already part of your plan.
Its Merfolk Wizard identity favors tempo plays and subtle disruption rather than raw tempo swings. The creature’s size makes it a credible attacker or blocker while the card draw option pressures opponents to answer it or concede incremental advantage. This listing is for a Near Mint foil from the Murders at Karlov Manor set, suitable for play and display. Collectors will appreciate the foil finish and players will value the clean print for sleeve and commander tables alike.
