Clean Kill: Murder (Showcase)
Murder is a direct answer that belongs in any black deck that values efficient removal and tempo. At a casting cost of {1}{B}{B} this Instant trades mana for certainty. Use it to remove a key blocker before combat, to answer a growing threat on the opponent board, or to finish off a creature propped up by buffs. The Showcase art and foil treatment make this piece both a playable staple and an eye catching addition to a collector display.
In the context of Murders at Karlov Manor the card carries a small narrative weight. The printed line about a carefully arranged guild emblem underlines why black answers are often clinical and targeted. Experienced players will appreciate the simplicity of the interaction and how it slots into sacrifice synergies, discard chains, and tempo plays. This Near Mint Foil copy is ready for decks and for a shelf that nods to the set lore.
