Cryptid Inspector
Oracle Text
Vigilance
Whenever a face-down permanent you control enters and whenever this creature or another permanent you control is turned face up, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Cryptid Inspector reads like a green two-drop built to turn hidden bodies into incremental growth: an Elf Warrior with vigilance that gets a +1/+1 counter whenever a face‑down permanent enters or any of your permanents are turned face up. Mechanically it best supports a value/tempo plan — you want early board presence and a steady snowball of counters that turns small, hidden threats into legitimate attackers or blockers. Build around cheap face‑down creatures (morph/manifest-style effects) and include ways to reliably turn them face up during combat or at instant speed so the Inspector can repeatedly accumulate counters while still defending. Specific synergy tips: run it with a suite of low-cost morphs and at least one source of counter-doubling or proliferation to turbocharge growth, and consider protection (bounce, hexproof-granting effects) so the Inspector sticks long enough to matter. Its vigilance lets it apply pressure without exposing defenses, making it a strong piece in green midrange or tempo shells that lean on hidden information.
