Duty Reclaimed

Immortal Obligation is an efficient white instant that rewrites the board by returning a creature from an opponent's graveyard to their battlefield and saddling it with a duty counter. The counter enforces a strict code of conduct. While the duty counter remains the creature is goaded and legally prevented from attacking you or your permanents and from blocking your creatures. That interaction converts an opponent resource into a constrained threat you can plan around.

Use this card to neutralize removal fodder, lock down a key blocker, or force an opponent into unfavorable attacks. The timing window of an instant makes it versatile in response to recursion lines or to interrupt a late game reanimation. The extended art frame and the Murders at Karlov Manor flavor fit decks that lean into Orzhov control and political plays where obligations alter the flow of combat and votes at the table.
