Case Files and Petrifying Consequences

Case of the Gorgon's Kiss is a compact removal tool that reads like a procedural step in a crime scene. When it enters the battlefield you can destroy a single creature that took damage this turn. Use it to finish off a creature after combat or to punish an opponent who overextended into your board. The card slots neatly into black midrange and sacrifice shells where targeted answers and graveyard activity intersect.

Solving the Case turns it from a piece of interaction into a durable threat. If three or more creature cards hit graveyards in a turn the enchantment becomes a 4/4 Gorgon with deathtouch and lifelink. That transition makes it a natural follow up in decks that mill themselves or leverage sacrifices. The flavor fits Karlov Manor; the artifact of investigation becomes the very danger it sought to explain.
