Surprise Witness on Call
Call a Surprise Witness is a concise recovery tool that reads clean and does work. Casting Call a Surprise Witness for {1}{W} reanimates a low cost creature from your graveyard and immediately grants it a flying counter. Use it to recover a tempo piece, protect a key creature by changing how opponents block, or to reuse an enter the battlefield effect with minimal setup. This is the sort of spell an experienced pilot keeps in the sideboard for tight midrange and control matchups.
The card fits the Murders at Karlov Manor theme by turning the graveyard into a procedural resource. The returned creature becomes a Spirit in addition to its other types which can matter in synergy decks that care about creature types. Think in terms of timing and sequencing. Resolve Call a Surprise Witness when you can capitalize on evasive bodies or when you need a blocker that can close out a life total with surprise air superiority.
