Connecting the Dots is a compact engine piece from Murders at Karlov Manor that rewards aggression and careful timing. At a cost of {1}{R} this Rare enchantment tucks the top of your library away every time a creature you control attacks, creating a private cache of options you cannot peek at until you are ready. The foil extended art brings a moody investigative feel that suits decks built to swing and capitalize on resources revealed later in the game.
Use the activated ability as a reset and payoff. For {1}{R} and the cost of your current hand plus sacrificing the enchantment you return all cards exiled by this card to their owners hands. That sequence lets you convert repeated attack triggers into a tactical refill when you need it most. It pairs well with persistently attacking boards and cards that care about sacrificing enchantments or refilling a clutch turn.
