Remand: Tempo and Card Advantage
Remand from Ravnica Remastered is a compact tool for controlling the flow of the game. Cast for {1}{U}, it counters a target spell while returning that spell to its owner instead of sending it to the graveyard and immediately draws you a card. The result is tempo that buys time and card selection that smooths your next plays. In limited play the interaction is straightforward and efficient. In constructed decks it shifts matchups that depend on one big spell by forcing opponents to recast under pressure.
Use Remand as an answer that doubles as fuel. It punishes overextensions while keeping your hand active. The effect reads cleanly on the stack and opens lines for follow up plays from the next turn. Lore wise it fits the guilded cunning of Ravnica where arcane interruptions are as likely to silence as they are to embarrass. For players who value incremental advantages and smart timing Remand is a reliable inclusion.
