Jaded Analyst: Quietly Observant, Combat Ready
Jaded Analyst from Murders at Karlov Manor is a compact blue one drop that rewards card draw sequencing. The 3/2 Human Detective enters with defender, which keeps it back as a reliable blocker while you assemble information. When you draw your second card each turn, the Analyst sheds defender and gains vigilance until end of turn, turning a passive blocker into a tempo piece that can both attack and remain available to block on the next turn.
This card sits well in decks that generate extra card draw or that run tight interaction windows. Use it to tax early attackers and to capitalize on incremental draws from cantrips or investigate effects. Flavor fits the set; the Analyst is methodical, cataloguing clues until a crucial second draw lets him spring into action. Practical for limited play and as a utility creature in lower curve blue decks.
