Slip the Timeline
Desynchronization is a tactical blue instant that reads like an assassination from the air. For {2}{U}{U} you bounce every nonland permanent that is not historic to its owner s hand, clearing the battlefield of opposing artifacts and creatures while leaving your historic pieces intact. The card functions as a reset button against midrange boards and as a tempo swing when you need to protect a key legendary or Saga.
The wording mirrors a clean, surgical answer you would expect from an Assassin archetype in Magic. Play it after your opponent commits to a wide board or to disrupt a combination; because artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas survive, you can plan around preserving your own value while denying theirs. Practical in control shells and useful as a sideboard tool, Desynchronization reads like a lesson from the Animus: undo what must be undone and keep your history intact. Add this rare to a collection built for interplay and timing.
