The Chase Is On
The Chase Is On from Murders at Karlov Manor is a compact, efficient Instant that turns a single attacker into a credible threat for one turn. Cast for {2}{R}, it grants target creature +3/+0 and first strike until end of turn and then lets you Investigate. Use it to push through damage, turn a blocker into a winner in combat, or secure a surprise removal trade by dealing damage first.
In play the card slots neatly into red tempo or aggro shells and also finds work in midrange lists that want a burst of combat reach plus a chance to generate clue tokens. The Investigate trigger adds a small but meaningful resource, especially late game when recurring value matters. The Showcase art emphasizes pursuit and urgency which matches the card's straightforward combat utility.
