Endless Detour
Casting Cost: {G}{W}{U}
Card Type: Instant
Card Text:

• The owner of target spell, nonland permanent, or card in a graveyard puts it on the top or bottom of their library.
  Flavour Text:
• After diverting around the eleventh construction barrier, the taxi driver began to suspect she was being herded into a trap.
  Artist: Eddie Mendoza

Strengths:

• Versatility: Can target a wide range of cards - spells on the stack, nonland permanents on the battlefield, or cards in a graveyard.
• Disruption: Can disrupt combo pieces, key permanents, or important spells, effectively delaying or nullifying them for a turn.

Weaknesses:

• Non-Permanent: The targeted card is not permanently dealt with; it merely moves to the top or bottom of the owner's library.
• Mana Requirements: Requires three colors of mana, making it less versatile in decks without a strong mana base.

Potential Deck Placement:

• Likely to find a place in Bant (Green-White-Blue) Control or Midrange decks that want versatile disruption options.
• Could also be a useful sideboard card in metas with a lot of combo or graveyard-centric decks.

Flavor and Art:

• The flavor text and art convey a sense of maze-like confusion and subterfuge, fitting for a card that can disrupt your opponent's plans in a myriad of ways.

Overall Impression:

• Endless Detour is a flexible and versatile instant that can be slotted into various decks needing disruption or delay tactics. While not a permanent solution to problems, it can effectively stall or divert an opponent's strategy.
