Overall impression:
Endless Detour Offers A Unique and Highly Versatile Form of Disruption that can function in a wide range of situations. While it may not permanently remove threats, the flexibility to target nearly spell or nonland permanent - and even cards in graveyards - gives it a range of tactical applications. Great for Both Disruption and Recursion, It Could Find A Home in A Variety of Bant Decks That Value Flexibility and Options.
