Goblin Witness: Small, Loud, Useful
Innocent Bystander is a compact red creature that delivers utility beyond its 2/1 body. For a casting cost of {1}{R} you get a Goblin Citizen that pressures early life totals while offering card advantage when it survives punishment. The investigate trigger reads well in sacrifice or artifact loops and pairs naturally with cards that care about Clue tokens.
From a lore perspective this card fits Karlov Manor by placing a nervous witness into the middle of skullduggery. On the table it plays like a lightweight tempo piece that can convert removal into value. Deck builders will find it reliable in aggressive builds and quietly effective in midrange shells that use artifacts or Clues to extend their turns.
