Carnage Interpreter: Clue for Hire
Carnage Interpreter arrives like a deliberate misstep in an investigation. When it enters the battlefield you discard your hand then investigate four times, turning lost cards into Clues you can cash in later. The card rewards tight hand size; with one or fewer cards in hand it becomes a harder to block threat and presents board presence while fueling card advantage.
The creature is a three three that fits into aggressive black red lists and control decks that want to convert hand resources into recurring value. The flavor reads like a Ravnican street interrogator who interprets violence into evidence. Use the Interpreter to collapse your hand into answers and pressure opponents with menace once your hand is lean.
