Sharp-Eyed Rookie
The Sharp-Eyed Rookie is a practical inclusion for creature focused green builds that value incremental growth and card advantage. At a cost of {1}{G} this Human Detective enters as a 2/2 with vigilance and a built in engine. When larger creatures arrive under your control the Rookie scales reliably, gaining a +1/+1 counter while creating a Clue to convert board presence into card draw. That interaction rewards sequencing and makes the Rookie a steady contributor to midrange and token synergies.
In the context of Murders at Karlov Manor the card reads like an investigative keystone. It encourages conservative attacks while building resource depth through investigate triggers. Use it early to patrol the ground or later to absorb buffs and translate tempo into cards. Its role is straightforward and consistent for players who prefer measured incremental advantage over flashy turns.
