Ghostly Riverboat

Foreboding Steamboat is a pragmatic tool for black commanders who trade bodies for inevitability. The enter the battlefield trigger exiles two nontoken, non Vehicle creatures from each player, creating a temporary board reset that leaves attackers and blockers parked on the vessel. That exile window gives you a controllable timing advantage rather than an outright removal solution.

On attack the Steamboat gradually feeds its own graveyard while generating clues via investigate, which both fuels graveyard synergies and offers card advantage over time. With Crew 2 and a 5 7 hull, it is a durable threat on the battlefield that pairs well with reanimation and sacrifice lines, fitting the Murders at Karlov Manor mood without theatrical excess.
