Slip the Watchful Eye
Diversion Specialist from Duskmourn: House of Horror is a compact tactical piece meant for tempo plays and soft disruption. An experienced pilot will use Diversion Specialist to change combat math and protect a key piece for a turn. It reads cleanly, fits easily into tempo or blue control shells, and rewards timing over brute force.
The card's enter the battlefield effect forces opponents to replan, which makes it useful with combat tricks, flash threats, and sacrifice synergies. In lore the Specialist is a streetwise misdirection artist who knows which shadows to pull at the right moment. Practical, efficient, and narrow enough to slot into limited pools while still offering a useful trick in constructed lists.
