Abstruse Appropriation is a study in controlled chaos. This borderless light play foil from Modern Horizons 3 lets you seize a nonland permanent and twist it into your own game plan. Exile is the payload, and you may cast that card for as long as it remains exiled, spending colorless mana as though it were mana of any color to cast that spell. It rewards careful sequencing and tempo, turning an opponent's threat into a resource for you.
In practice you want to identify a solid target and then thread the exile window to keep that spell out of your opponent's hands while you pressure with your own plan. The borderless foil catches light as you manipulate the flow of the game, echoing the set's obsession with borrowed power. In the right moments this card grants you flexible answers sourced from exile, a steady edge rather than a blitz of surprise.
