What are the disguise and collect evidence mechanics in Murders at Karlov Manor?
Disguise lets you cast a creature face down as a 2/2 with ward and flip it later for its real cost. Collect evidence asks you to exile cards from your graveyard with total mana value at or above a number to pay for an effect, and Clue tokens and Detective creatures tie the mystery theme together. Deadly Disguise builds around flipping face-down creatures.

Blame Game. Attacking each turn and rewarding combat damage is the most direct gameplan of the four. Deep Clue Sea is a close second if you prefer drawing cards over swinging.
