Novice Inspector, Quiet Questions
Novice Inspector is a compact utility creature that fits neatly into tempo or attrition white decks. When Novice Inspector enters the battlefield investigate, creating a Clue token you can convert to card advantage later; the body is serviceable at one power and two toughness and can absorb a trade while you set up value. This foil near mint print from Murders at Karlov Manor also carries the set aesthetic and works well alongside sacrifice synergies and incidental removal.
The card rewards careful sequencing and patience. Play the Inspector on a turn when you can make use of the Clue or when you need a blocker, then convert the artifact when it matters most. In a deck that prizes incremental advantage the Inspector reliably converts tempo into resources and complements detective themes found in the set.
