Curious Cadaver — A Graveyard Sleuth
Curious Cadaver is a compact recursion engine that fits neatly into both control and combo shells in Murders at Karlov Manor. The card trades raw toughness for flight and a repeatable return effect. Flying lets the 3 1 attacker push damage through ground defenses while offering incidental evasion for blocking or attacking when tempo matters. The sacrifice trigger reads clearly and cleanly: whenever you sacrifice a Clue, you get the Cadaver back from your graveyard to your hand, which converts Investigate token production into recurring value.
Play the Cadaver where you can reliably make and sacrifice Clues or pair it with any artifact sacrifice outlet. It works well with topdeck manipulation and with cards that create clues on demand. From a lore angle the piece feels right for the set; a detective risen to follow loose ends into the night and return with answers. For decks that rely on graveyard interaction the Cadaver is a small role player that can keep pressure on and provide steady card advantage through efficient recursion.
