Crimestopper Sprite
Crimestopper Sprite is a compact blue answer for players who want tempo and a toolbox feel. A Faerie Detective at two and a blue, it arrives with flying and an enter the battlefield effect that taps a threat and can leave that threat staggered with a stun counter if you paid the evidence cost. The card rewards careful graveyard management because collecting evidence is an alternative cost that trades resources now for a lasting disruption later.
In practice this is a one drop tempo play disguised as a midrange interaction. Use the sprite to neutralize a blocker or an attacker while advancing a longer plan of exile recursion to meet the evidence six requirement. The flavor sits neatly in Karlov Manor; the sprite feels procedural not theatrical, which suits decks that prefer incremental advantage and clean lines of play.
