Makeshift Binding
Makeshift Binding is a compact exile tool that fits neatly into white control shells. For three mana you temporarily remove a problem creature an opponent controls and gain two life. It stabilizes the board while preserving your answers for later turns because the target returns only when the enchantment leaves the battlefield. Use it to stall a clock or to buy time for a planeswalker or a removal sequence to resolve.
In tight games from the Murders at Karlov Manor environment this card curves well with creature based strategies you expect to face. It pairs cleanly with sacrifice effects that can sacrifice the enchanted object or with flicker effects that blink the enchantment and force the creature off the battlefield permanently. Practical, straightforward and predictable, it rewards timing and sequencing rather than brute force.
