The Chase Is On
This Showcase foil edition of The Chase Is On from Murders at Karlov Manor is a compact combat trick built for decisive turns. Cast for {2}{R} as an instant and target a creature to grant it a clean forceful boost of +3/+0 and first strike until end of turn. The card also instructs you to Investigate which generates a clue token you can sacrifice for card advantage later in the game. The art shows a swift pursuit through a mansion corridor which aligns with the card function in midrange and aggressive red decks that push damage while leaving a small card advantage trail.
Play knowledge matters here. Use the instant timing to win unfavorable trades or to convert a surprise attack into lethal damage. The Investigate trigger makes this trick slightly more valuable than a simple pump effect because it leaves you with a resource after the combat step resolves. This Medium Play foil is suitable for collectors and players who want a playable copy that reads well in both historic and casual formats.
