Magic: The Gathering- Murders at Karlov Manor centers around themes of investigation and mystery. Interestingly, players can expect cards reminiscent of Clue to appear in the set. For instance, land cards that are rooms instead of land. Additionally, the set will introduce clue tokens and various new mechanics to make a sleuth deck crack the case. However, it wouldn’t be a murder mystery without the murder. Of course, the set is not afraid to add a little brutality. It is set in Ravnica after all. Artifact cards whose designs feel a little more mystery-esque, such as a lead pipe, will be making an appearance in the set.
