Wrap It Up: Makeshift Binding
Makeshift Binding rewards timing and precision. This {2}{W} enchantment exiles a target creature an opponent controls when it enters the battlefield and returns that creature only when Makeshift Binding leaves the battlefield. You also gain 2 life which helps soften tempo losses while you stabilize the board. In practice this card functions as a temporary removal that removes blockers or threats cleanly without committing permanent board resources.
Use it to interrupt combo pieces, stall a lethal attacker, or buy a turn for your own plan. It pairs well with flicker effects since removing the enchantment returns the creature immediately. The artwork and flavor echo the Murders at Karlov Manor setting where separation and secrets change outcomes. Experienced players will value its predictability and the low mana investment for targeted disruption in white strategies.
