Crowd-Control Warden
The Crowd-Control Warden is built to shape board states and reward a developed army. As this Centaur Soldier enters the battlefield or is turned face up you place X +1/+1 counters on it where X equals the number of other creatures you control. That makes the Warden scale naturally in token shells and creature-heavy midrange decks while still functioning as a respectable standalone four four when you need a body.
Its disguise ability gives you a flexible reveal plan. You can present a 2/2 with ward 2 to bait removal or buy a turn then cast it face up for its disguise cost to swing the clock or snowball a board position. From a tactical standpoint this card rewards timing and board awareness more than raw speed which fits the Murders at Karlov Manor theme of careful plays and gradual advantage.
