Vanish from Sight

Blue's tempo tools have always negotiated the same trade: bounce to hand is a clean swing but hands the card back, while a hard answer costs too much or lives in the wrong color. This splits the difference by reaching any nonland permanent and burying it in the owner's library, with a wrinkle that changes the math: the owner, not the caster, chooses top or bottom. That single word reshapes the effect. Against something they built toward, they can reload it onto the top and draw it back a turn later, so the "removal" becomes a draw-step tax you have imposed on their terms; against a token, though, the choice is a fiction, since a token that leaves the battlefield ceases to exist, and the spell quietly becomes clean, permanent removal. The instant-speed window is where it earns its keep, letting you unwind an attacker before damage, save a creature from a burn spell, or send back a threat mid-combat rather than answering it after the fact. The surveil rider shows how this bracket has drifted over the years: what would once have been a naked bounce now smooths your next draw for free, too small to justify the card alone but enough to soften the four-mana price. The cost is the honest limiter. Against a real threat this is never a two-for-one and never permanent, only a delay whose depth the target's owner gets to set.
