Makeshift Binding — Quietly Neutralize a Threat
Makeshift Binding from Murders at Karlov Manor gives you a compact way to remove an opponent creature from the board while stabilizing your life total. When Makeshift Binding enters the battlefield you exile a target creature an opponent controls until Makeshift Binding leaves the battlefield. The exchange is clean and low cost. You pay {2}{W} and gain 2 life which can buy time against aggressive decks or buy a window to set up a longer plan.
Play it in control shells that want temporary answers without committing removal resources. The wording matters in tight plays because the card functions as a blink style exile tied to the enchantment. In lore the binding reads like a surgical remedy cast from Karlov Manor itself. Experienced players appreciate that it answers big threats for a single white three mana investment and pairs well with flicker effects that can reset the exile trigger.
