Abstruse Appropriation: Exile on Your Terms
Stealthy spell snatcher Abstruse Appropriation slips into the late game with a colorless edge that fits modern control and tempo builds. The Devoid frame marks it as colorless in practice, while the effect targets a nonland permanent and exiles it. You may cast that card for as long as it remains exiled, and you may spend colorless mana as though it were mana of any color to cast that spell.
Used well, it trades tempo for utility. Exiling a problematic permanent lets you reuse the exiled spell on a future turn, or to deny your opponent a key play. The approach rewards thoughtful timing and proper mana planning, especially in multi color formats where colorless flexibility matters.
