The Chase Is On — Quick Strike and Clue
The Chase Is On is a compact red instant that fits cleanly into aggressive or tempo builds. Cast for {2}{R}, it gives target creature +3/+0 and first strike until end of turn then Investigate. That sequence turns an attacking creature into a reliable blocker or a surprise damage source while generating a Clue token for later value. Use it to push damage through, trade up with favorable blocks, or pivot into card advantage when the board stalls.
In the context of Murders at Karlov Manor the card reads like a moment pulled from the investigation. The brief boost and the Investigate trigger reflect a chase that yields both a hit and a lead. This Near Mint Foil Showcase printing adds a collectible sheen for players and collectors who want an eye catching playset that still delivers straightforward, turn ending utility.
