Otherworldly Escort — Relentless Detective
Otherworldly Escort is a white four three with flash that trades utility for persistence. Cast it as an instant to block a tempo play or answer a threat, and expect the card to come back after it dies unless it is already a Spirit. When it returns it does so with four charge counters and a new creature type that changes how it interacts with effects that care about Humans or Spirits. The printed interaction rewards careful timing and offers a durable answer in creature heavy boards.
The Escort also carries a conditional removal ability that reads like a detective closing a case. Pay one white and tap and remove a charge counter to destroy a creature that damaged you this turn. That makes it a deterrent against single target damage and a useful option in Commander games where attackers tend to stick around. Practical, compact, and consistent with Karlov Manor tone, this card fits equipment led or creature control builds that want a repeatable targeted answer.
