Deduce: Draw and Investigate
Deduce is a compact, efficient instant that fits neatly into any blue deck looking for card advantage and a clue token to fuel sac outlets. For a single and one blue mana you draw a card then Investigate. The timing window, being instant speed, makes this a useful stopgap on your opponent's turn or a way to refill after a tempo loss. Experienced players will appreciate how the card smooths draws while adding a board piece that interacts with sacrifice synergies and artifact recursion.
From a lore angle Deduce carries the set tone of sleuthing in Karlov Manor; the spell reads like a quick case note that yields both information and evidence. Play it early to maintain momentum or later to convert a marginal hand into a meaningful turn. It is straightforward to slot and plays well with investigate payoffs, looting effects, and controllers that capitalize on clue tokens.
