Quick Exit
Unauthorized Exit is a compact blue instant that solves a wide range of board problems without committing to long term answers. Cast it for {1}{U} to return a target nonland permanent to its owner's hand and gain a little card selection with Surveil 1. It pulls a blocker off the battlefield, resets an active combo piece, or buys time against a threatening planeswalker while leaving you with a card in hand to plan your next play.
The card fits cleanly into control shells and tempo lists that value efficient, flexible interaction. In lore it reads like a hallway departure from Karlov Manor where one more misstep undoes a case. Use it at instant speed to respond to combat or to remove a permanent you cannot otherwise answer this turn. Experienced players will appreciate the low ceiling on mana while exploiting the modest card advantage that Surveil provides.
