The Chase Is On

The Chase Is On is a compact red instant that turns offense into value. Play it to push a creature through combat with a quick three power boost and first strike until end of turn while also Investigating for card advantage. This near mint foil print carries the practical punch you expect from red removal and combat tricks yet it leaves behind a Clue token to fuel later turns.

From a lore perspective the card fits Murders at Karlov Manor by pairing a sharp tactical strike with detective tradecraft. Use it to finish off a blocker or to trade favorably while generating a Clue that can be cashed in for card selection. Experienced players will find it efficient in aggressive and midrange shells where tempo and replacement value matter.
