About Cryptid Inspector

Cryptid Inspector, Creature — elf warrior, designed by Kim Sokol first released in Sep, 2024 in the set Duskmourn: House of Horror.

Cryptid Inspector fits well in a deck that leverages morph mechanics, which allow you to play creatures face down and then turn them face up for a cost, benefiting from its ability to gain +1/+1 counters whenever this occurs. A deck built around cards like Mystic Snake or Willbender, which can be played face down and have impactful abilities when turned face up, would synergize nicely with the Inspector. While there are stronger cards in the morph archetype, such as Briar Hydra or Sagu Mauler, which can also grow in power, Cryptid Inspector's unique ability to trigger off multiple permanents can make it a valuable addition in a niche strategy. Overall, it should see play in dedicated morph decks, but its effectiveness may be limited in more competitive environments.
