Blast from the Foundry
Suspicious Detonation is a straightforward removal spell that rewards artifact sacrifice lines. The base cost is {4}{R} and it deals 4 damage to a target creature, but the cost drops by three mana if you have sacrificed an artifact this turn. That efficient cost reduction makes it a reliable answer in decks that run sacrifice outlets, token artifacts, or cheap metalcraft pieces. It also cannot be countered which keeps it effective against control decks that rely on countermagic to blunt your tempo.
Play it as part of an artifact tempo plan or as a surprise answer when you need to clear a blocker or finish off a creature that slipped past. In the context of Karlov Manor the effect reads like a calculated demolition. The card is practical in midrange and sacrifice builds and gives a compact, predictable answer that an experienced pilot can time to maximum effect.
