Bite Down on Crime
Bite Down on Crime is a practical play for midrange green decks that want efficient tempo and graveyard interaction. Castable for {3}{G}, it rewards a prior investment in your yard by letting you collect evidence six as an additional cost and it reduces its casting cost by {2} if you did. The spell grants a target creature you control +2/+0 until end of turn and then redirects that creature's power as damage to an opposing creature, making it a reliable way to trade up while preserving board presence.
From a Karlov Manor perspective the card fits themes of investigation and calculated strikes. Use it after you have stacked your graveyard with utility cards or sacrifice fodder so collecting evidence is realistic. It pairs well with creatures that enter tapped or with ways to boost power before damage is dealt. The printed text is precise so structure your sequencing and exile choices deliberately to make the most of the cost reduction and the damage step.
