Never / Return — Verdict from the Aether
Never / Return is a compact removal package that reads clean and resolves faster than most midrange answers. Never destroys a creature or a planeswalker for three mana, making it a reliable slot in black decks that need efficient interaction. Return can be cast from the graveyard thanks to Aftermath and provides value back to the board by exiling a graveyard card to make a 2/2 black Zombie token.
From a piloting perspective this split sorcery gives you flexible sequencing. Cast Never for immediate disruption during your turn or keep it for use as Return later when the graveyard matters more. The printed Aftermath reminder appears on the right half and enforces the cast only from graveyard restriction, which fits the set theme of aether echoes and recycling threats. Add this Near Mint English copy to a Commander or casual list that values clean removal with a built in backup; it slots nicely into decks that leverage both graveyard interaction and persistent board presence.
