Oblation
The cleanest universal answer white has ever printed, and the only one that touches neither the graveyard nor the exile zone. Where Disenchant cares about types and Swords to Plowshares cares about creatures, this hits any nonland permanent: a planeswalker mid-game, an enchantment, a token, a creature that shrugs off destruction. The shuffle is the mechanism that makes it universal. There is no death trigger to punish, no recursion to exploit, no exile to fuel a delve or escape engine; the permanent goes back into a randomized library and may never be drawn again. That same shuffle carries the price the design accepts in return: the two cards always go to whoever owns the target. Aimed across the table, the rate is not "removal plus a draw for you" but "tuck plus a draw for the other side," a genuine concession that stops the universality from collapsing into a strictly-better answer. Pointed at your own board, the tax inverts into a reward: shuffle back a token that has done its work or a permanent you no longer need, and the two cards are yours, with no opponent to subsidize. The card reads as removal but behaves like a negotiated reset. That dual axis (total flexibility bought by handing card advantage to the owner of whatever you target) is the entire transaction, and the choice of whether to point it at their board or your own is the whole of the decision it asks.
