Slice from the Shadows: Precision Removal
Slice from the Shadows gives you a clean instant speed answer that plays well with a low curve or a large X. The card cannot be countered which makes it reliable against opponents who bank on interaction. Casting Slice from the Shadows with a modest X can shift combat and clear a blocker while investing extra mana turns it into a removal finisher.
From a Karlov Manor perspective the wording feels surgical and unflashy, a quiet solution that fits the set tone. Use it as a surprise trick in post combat only to strip a threatening creature or as part of a larger plan where the flexibility of X and the cannot be countered clause matter more than raw power.
