Ugin's Binding Borderless
Ugin's Binding is an instant that costs {2}{C}, and its Devoid trait makes it colorless, which matters for colorless strategies and certain banish interactions. The spell returns target nonland permanent you don't control to its owner's hand, delivering a clean tempo swing when you need to disrupt an opponent's board or remove a key threat. This is a compact, reliable answer in a Modern Horizons 3 game plan, especially when you want to keep your curve lean while you manage opposing permanents.
Ugin's Binding also carries a built in escalation: if you cast a colorless spell with mana value 7 or greater, you may exile Ugin's Binding from your graveyard. When you do, return each nonland permanent you don't control to its owner's hand, potentially flipping the board state in your favor. This interaction rewards extended games and colorless mana strategies, letting you leverage late game colorless giants to bounce away threats while keeping your own board intact. This borderless variant in Light Play condition is a solid addition for players who value a versatile instant in their toolkit.
