Crimestopper Sprite — Skyborne Sleuth

Crimestopper Sprite brings efficient disruption to blue decks that value tempo and graveyard economy. For {2}{U} you get a 2 2 flier that can arrive tapped into the right spot and lock a blocker down. The additional cost option to collect evidence 6 rewards decks that build around graveyard resources and want a tangible payoff for investment.

On entry the Sprite taps a target creature and, when evidence was collected, leaves a stun counter that delays untapping. That interaction pairs well with bounce, blink, or tempo plays and with graveyard recursion strategies. The foil near mint print shown here is from Murders at Karlov Manor and will suit both play and collection purposes in sealed and draft environments.
