Shadowed Clerk
Unscrupulous Agent is a compact piece of interaction that early black decks welcome. Cast for {1}{B} and you get a 1 1 Elf Detective whose enters the battlefield trigger forces a target opponent to exile a card from their hand. In practice this is efficient hand disruption that trades a small body for information denial and tempo, especially when paired with discard synergies or cards that punish empty hands.
The card sits cleanly in tempo, control and graveyard hate shells and fits Murders at Karlov Manor themes of investigation and underhanded evidence gathering. The printed flavor frames the mechanic as procedural work that yields results, which makes it useful in decks that want low cost interaction and incremental advantage without overcommitting to the board.
