Showstopping Surprise (Extended Art) (Commander: Murders at Karlov Manor) Near Mint

Showstopping Surprise: Turn the Spotlight into Cleanup

Showstopping Surprise rewards careful board choreography. Cast it at instant speed to target a creature you control, flip it face up if it is face down, then have that creature deal damage equal to its power to each other creature. That interaction makes this an efficient one card answer when you can raise a single body to a high power through equipment, counters, or temporary buffs. Use it to clear blockers, reset token swarms, or turn a single pumped attacker into a sweeping effect that respects indestructible and deathtouch timing.

In the Karlov Manor mood this card carries a practical flair. The extended art highlights the crowd and the gasp that follows a reveal. In play the card excels in red led decks that use morph, manifest, or other face down tricks. Keep in mind the ordering of triggers and damage assignment when creatures have static modifiers. It reads well in a deck that builds one big threat rather than many small ones.
