Abstruse Appropriation
Abstruse Appropriation offers a precise instant to handle a problematic nonland permanent. For a cost of {2}{W}{W}, you exile that permanent and gain the option to cast it later while it remains exiled. You may spend colorless mana as though it were mana of any color to cast that spell, which unlocks late game value from what your opponent played. The Devoid tag means the spell itself is colorless, a detail that matters in color based restrictions.
The art portrays a hooded figure hovering above a chasm, with glowing runes and floating structures that hint at fractured reality. In practice, this card fits well in control and tempo lines from Modern Horizons 3, offering removal with built in recursion that can swing the game when you reuse an opponent's threat. As a rare instant, it rewards precise timing and strategic patience, especially when you want to answer a threat and keep the option to cast it from exile.
