Sneaky Clue Seeker
Innocent Bystander is a compact red one drop that earns its keep in aggressive and midrange builds. For {1}{R} you get a 2 1 creature that threatens early pressure and doubles as a value engine. When it takes three or more damage it generates a Clue token, which converts combat damage or burn spells into card advantage. That interaction makes the Bystander a useful target for ping effects, burn collateral, or a deliberate sacrifice outlet.
This light play foil from Murders at Karlov Manor fits into sacrifice themes and decks that want incremental value while staying on the beatdown plan. Use the Clue tokens to smooth draws or to refuel after an overcommitment to the board. The card has a small bit of set flavor tied to Karlov Manor, a Goblin who prefers to look like an unlucky witness rather than a suspect. Play it where a single point of reach can become a steady source of card advantage.
