Interrogation at the Azorius Table
Officious Interrogation from Murders at Karlov Manor is a tactical instant that rewards careful targeting and board reading. Cast for {W}{U}, the spell becomes more expensive as you add targets but scales with the number of creatures those players control. In practice this reads like a precision tool for investigating crowded boards; cast it when opponent armies are sizable and the Investigate triggers will net multiple Clue tokens. The Showcase foil treatment and the Light Play condition make this copy appealing to players who value both playability and aesthetic presence.
Use it as a tempo play or a setup piece. Naming multiple opponents stretches your mana but converts opposing creatures into card advantage through Investigate. The card sits comfortably in control and midrange shells that can afford flexible mana and that want incremental advantage rather than an immediate board swing. The lore ties to Azorius procedure fits the set tone and gives a reason to include it in decks that exploit artifacts and sacrifice synergies.
