Granite Witness — Gargoyle Detective on Duty
Granite Witness is a compact aerial enforcer that fits into control shells and tempo decks with predictable reliability. Casting for {2}{W}{U}, this 3/2 Artifact Creature Gargoyle Detective arrives with Flying and vigilance so it can pressure planeswalkers or block efficiently while remaining ready to act. Its printed interaction when turned face up reads as an immediate tempo play that can lock down opposing attackers or free your own blockers.
The disguise ability gives you flexible sequencing. You may deploy it face down as a 2/2 with ward 2 for three mana then pay the disguise cost to reveal it, triggering the tap or untap effect. That makes Granite Witness effective in disruption roles where timing matters; it can slip into play unseen and then change the board state on reveal. A pragmatic pick for decks that want a low commitment, high information play from Murders at Karlov Manor.
