Trace the Pattern Blood Spatter Analysis offers a compact engine for midrange decks that steer toward attrition and recursion. When Blood Spatter Analysis enters the battlefield it deals 3 damage to a target creature an opponent controls which buys tempo and clears blockers. The card then turns every death into incremental advantage as creatures die you mill a card and put a bloodstain counter on Blood Spatter Analysis which advances a clear clock toward value.
At five bloodstain counters the enchantment sacrifices itself and lets you return a target creature card from your graveyard to your hand. That payoff fits with graveyard synergies and controlled trading on the battlefield. The flavor aligns with Murders at Karlov Manor where evidence accumulates until it forces a revelation and a shift in momentum.
