Description
Obligated Return
Immortal Obligation is an instant that repurposes your opponent's fallen forces into a constrained asset. Cast for {1}{W} to return a creature card from an opponent's graveyard to the battlefield under their control and place a duty counter on it. The counter imposes a suite of restrictions so the reanimated creature cannot attack you or your permanents and cannot block your creatures, while it remains goaded.
In practical play the card functions as a tempo tool and a political lever in multiplayer. It denies an opponent the free use of a reanimated threat while forcing it into combat elsewhere. Useful in an Orzhov deck or any list that benefits from manipulating board engagements, Immortal Obligation trades immediate value for targeted control and subtle table pressure.
