Forensic Researcher: Tap Clues, Tap Opponents
Forensic Researcher brings methodical tempo to blue decks in Murders at Karlov Manor. A Merfolk Detective that costs {2}{U}, it fits into control and tempo shells that value incremental advantage. Its tap ability to untap another permanent you control creates tricky interactions with mana producers and equipment while its evidence ability turns graveyard resources into targeted disruption.
Play it to reuse a mana source or protect a crucial blocker and then convert a stocked graveyard into a one time tap removal for an opposing creature. The card rewards careful planning and sequencing rather than raw power. In a lore sense the Researcher is the set piece investigator, cataloging clues from the fallen to keep the manor secure while you assemble your game plan.
