Redemption in Retribution
Vengeful Tracker is a compact, efficient threat for aggressive red decks that want incidental removal without spending burn. At {1}{R} you get a 2 2 creature that punishes opponents who lose artifacts. The trigger is immediate and repeatable, making this Human Detective a steady source of incremental damage that closes out games once opponents are pressured into sacrificing pieces of their board.
In the context of Murders at Karlov Manor the card fits as a practical tool for midrange or tempo strategies that force choices on your opponent. Play it early to claim tempo or follow up land destruction and artifact hate to force sacrifices and convert those losses into clock. The flavor leans to a detective who keeps score; mechanically it pairs cleanly with token generators, sacrifice engines, and targeted artifact removal to amplify each opportunity.
