Synchronized Eviction

Instant4 generic manaBlue mana

The bounce spell that punishes stability: rather than returning a permanent to hand, it buries it second from the top of its owner's library, so the target's controller draws it back only after burning a full turn's draw step first. That library-manipulation is a sharper form of tempo than a straight Boomerang effect, because it eats a draw rather than just a mana cost, and it can strand a token or an aura target rather than returning it. The tribal discount is the engine that makes the rate matter: control two creatures sharing a type and the price collapses, turning a five-mana instant into something you can hold up alongside a threat and still develop your board. That constraint is doing real work: it ties a generically useful answer to a specific kind of deck, one built wide enough to keep a shared type on the battlefield, so the spell rewards the aggressive tribal shell that least wants to pay five for a temporary answer. The wrinkle is that it hits any nonland permanent, so it doubles as removal for a problem enchantment or artifact that other tempo spells cannot touch, and it can reset your own permanent for value in a pinch. It is a design that asks a synergy-driven board to buy interaction at a discount, which is exactly the trade tribal decks are usually short on.
