A killer is on the loose in the world of Magic: The Gathering, but this time it’s a little bit different from all the other times a killer has been on the loose! Wizards’ next card set for the game, Murders at Karlov Manor, is getting its Clue on in a big way, with returning and new mechanics that will transform your decks into veritable whodunnits of their own accord.

Revealed today ahead of Murders’ debut next month, Wizards of the Coast has dropped a look at a swath of new cards that will explore the mechanical aspect of the murder mystery vibes underpinning the set’s story. Based around events at a party in the realm of Ravnica—meant to celebrate the surviving heroes of the recent, devastating battles with the Phyrexians—turning sour when the Merfolk wizard Zegana is found murdered, Murders at Karlov Manor will see multiple new mechanics introduced to let players not just try and uncover the culprits themselves, but use their powers of intuition to put the squeeze on their opponents cards.
