Shock the Board with Galvanize
Galvanize is a compact removal spell from Murders at Karlov Manor that trades efficiency for flexibility. For a cost of {1}{R} you can deal 3 damage to a target creature and remove early threats, or push through a lethal hit on smaller blockers. If you have drawn two or more cards this turn Galvanize scales up to deal 5 damage instead, which rewards a draw heavy turn where card advantage funds extra precision.
Use Galvanize in aggressive midrange builds as a cheap interaction that doubles as reach and removal. In limited it smooths out unfavorable blocks and in constructed it functions as an economical answer when paired with cantrips or draw engines. The flavor fits Karlov Manor with a sharp, electric sting that feels like a practiced response rather than a reckless flare.
