Reprieve is an instant card with the following features:

• Casting Cost: {1}{W}, which means it costs one generic mana and one white mana to cast.

• Card Type: Instant, indicating that you can cast it at any time, even during your opponent's turn.

• Card Text: This card has two effects:

  1. Return target spell to its owner's hand: This means you can choose a spell on the stack (a spell that has been cast but hasn't resolved yet) and return it to its owner's hand. This can disrupt your opponent's plans or protect yourself from an opponent's spell.
  2. Draw a card: This allows you to draw an additional card when you cast Reprieve. Drawing cards is crucial for card advantage and having more options during your turn.

• Flavour Text: The flavour text adds context and emotion to the card. It refers to a moment between two characters, Faramir and Éowyn, in the story, even though they were not aware of it. The flavour text enhances the thematic elements of the card.

In gameplay, Reprieve provides versatility. It can counter an opponent's spell while replacing itself by letting you draw a card. This combination of effects can be valuable in various situations, giving you both disruption and card advantage.
