Granite Witness

Description

Carrying card number 206, this common rarity card represents the Detective subtype with a unique Gargoyle twist, blending artifact mechanics with classic creature traits. Designed by artist Tuan Duong Chu, the card offers a fresh strategic option for players building decks that utilize the white and blue mana colors. Granite Witness functions as a 4-mana creature with 3 power and 2 toughness, providing immediate board presence through its Flying and Vigilance abilities. Its most defining feature is the Disguise mechanic, which allows the player to cast the card face down for three mana as a 2/2 creature with Ward {2}. This flexibility enables strategic deception during gameplay, keeping opponents guessing about the true nature of the threat. Players can later reveal the true identity of the creature by paying the Disguise cost of one white and one blue mana. When turned face up, Granite Witness triggers an effect that lets you tap or untap a target creature, offering tactical control over the battlefield. This utility makes it a versatile addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection, appealing to collectors who appreciate the intricate design and gameplay depth of the Murders at Karlov Manor expansion. The card's dual-color identity and artifact creature type make it a notable piece for enthusiasts of the Detective archetype and artifact-focused strategies. Whether you are completing your set or seeking a powerful addition to your deck, Granite Witness stands out as a key component of the 2024 release.
