Abstruse Appropriation Foil

Abstruse Appropriation offers a measured answer to a troublesome permanent. For {2}{W}{W}, you exile a target nonland permanent and you may cast that card for as long as it remains exiled. Devoid makes the spell colorless, letting it slot into any color strategy and keeping your white mana free for other plays. The result is tempo with staying power, turning a removal into a long game option when needed.

Flavor text on the card notes that Kozilek experiences reality on his own terms, a sentiment voiced by Ayli, high priest of the Eternal Pilgrims. In practical terms, Abstruse Appropriation lets you remove a threat and reclaim it later using colorless mana as if it were any color, a flexibility that can tilt the pace of a stalled game.
