Ugin's Binding: Colorless Control on a Foil
Ugin's Binding is a practical instant for control and tempo in Modern Horizons 3. With a lean {2}{U} cost, you bounce a target nonland permanent you don't control back to its owner's hand, buying you a tempo window to stabilize. The Devoid frame makes the spell colorless, which matters in colorless centric builds, and the foil finish catches light as the blue artwork swirls around the binding. As a Mythic rarity foil from Modern Horizons 3, it stands out on the table.
Flavor wise the binding echoes Ugin's quiet ward over this plane, a restraint you can lean on in the late game. The secondary clause offers a way to extend its reach: when 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. It rewards careful sequencing and can clear the board at the right moment.
