There // They're // Their

Instant — Lesson // Instant — Lesson // Instant — LessonBlue mana1 generic manaBlue mana2 generic manaBlue mana

Three homophones, three of blue's oldest utility spells, all set at instant speed. "There" is a blink: exile your own creature and return it, dodging a removal spell already on the stack and re-triggering an enters-the-battlefield effect, though the creature comes back as a fresh object with summoning sickness, which is the price of the reset. "They're" is Falter for evasion, shoving up to three attackers past blockers for the turn. "Their" is a Donate variant, handing a single creature to an opponent who doesn't want it: a body saddled with an upkeep tax, a token rigged to punish its controller, or a permanent whose downside now belongs to someone else. None of the three effects is new; the novelty is stapling them to a grammar gag and letting the flavor carry three otherwise unremarkable commons. The connective tissue between the modes is loose (protect a creature, get creatures through, offload a creature), but the real design constant is the window. Every mode fires at instant speed, so the deckbuilding question is less which effect you want than which window you're holding the card open for, and that answer shifts from turn to turn: the blink for the removal you see coming, the Falter for the alpha strike, the Donate for the liability you'd rather were someone else's problem.
