Rewind the Board
Repeal is a compact answer in blue that lets you refund a troublesome permanent and replace it with a card. Casting it for X and one blue mana returns a target nonland permanent with mana value X to its owner s hand then lets you draw a card. The spell fits cleanly into tempo plays where removing one piece buys time and replenishes the playbook.
In Ravnica play Repeal reads like a legal motion filed by a pragmatic Azorius clerk. Use small X values to disrupt early threats or scale X up to flatten a late game permanent that matters. The effect is straightforward and repeatable and it rewards careful timing more than raw power. This copy is Near Mint English from the Ravnica Clue Edition set and will serve well in control shells and toolbox blue lists.
