Snap the Clock
Quicken (Retro Frame) is the kind of instant that rewrites the turn. Cast for {U}, it gives the next sorcery you play this turn the effect of having flash. That lets you hold answers for your opponent or ambush a late game play with tempo intact. The card also replaces itself by drawing a card which smooths out the temporary tempo cost and keeps action in hand.
In Ravnica terms this reads like an Izzet schematic come to life. Quicken works across draft and constructed shells where reactive sorceries and combo lines matter. Keep it in mind as a sideboard or main deck inclusion when you need to shift timing without sacrificing card advantage.
