Blooming Sentinel of the Karlov Grounds
Flourishing Bloom Kin is a concise tool for green decks that scale with your land count. At a low cost of one and a green mana you get a 0 0 creature that grows statically with each Forest you control, which turns a loose board of lands into a steady source of power. The disguise ability gives it late game surprise value when you need to convert a face down body into card advantage and a slammed Forest to the battlefield.
Experienced players will see the card as a hedge against clunky draws and a tutor on a stick. When it is turned face up you can fetch up to two Forest cards, putting one directly into play tapped and the other into your hand, smoothing your mana while digging for follow up plays. In the context of Murders at Karlov Manor this Plant Elemental fits the set's garden of motives by rewarding careful sequencing and board planning rather than brute force.
