Where it came from
Makeshift Binding was released in 2024 as part of the Murders at Karlov Manor set for Magic: The Gathering. Set in the plane of Ravnica, the card reflects the aesthetic of a high-society mystery, where the mundane tools of investigations—such as ropes, cords, and improvised restraints—are repurposed as magical wards. It serves as a white-aligned removal spell, mechanically representing the act of binding or neutralizing a threat through makeshift materials.
The artwork, illustrated by Billy Christian, leans into the gritty, noir-inspired atmosphere characteristic of the set. Christian emphasizes the texture of the materials and the sense of desperate improvisation inherent in the card's function. Upon release, it was received as a standard utility card for Limited formats, noted for its ability to address a wide variety of permanents in a way that fits the flavor of a detective-themed expansion.
