Are there many such? Castigate, Mesmeric Fiend etc, I guess, but in those cases they still get to choose so they'd choose an instant or sorcery if this is out?

Hmm, Gift a Feldon's Cane and, um, Word of Command them into using it?

Drat, not the cane. It's modern... searching... oooh! Agent of Erebos. MUCH simpler! Throw that at them :)

This is a shield against Relic of Progenitus, Bojuka Bog, and other annoyingly efficient graveyard hate so that my Sun Titan deck can keep having fun. Unfortunately, I've just realized that it doesn't work against Rest in Peace and friends. Right? Could it say "Spell, ability, or effect?" Is that a thing?

Buh... It seems I managed to utterly misread this as saying "from your hand". Ignore my first comment. Yes, this is pretty reasonable.

This works against the first half of Rest in Peace. The other half - the Leyline of the Void bit - is rather harder to muck about with, because it turns Murder into Unmake, and this card of yours can't do anything about Unmake.

No matter how you word it, the only things Rest in Peace ever exiles "from the graveyard" are the cards already there for the ETB trigger.

­Hive Mind + Morningtide (theirs resolves first) looks like the simplest way to break this, and that should be sufficiently unwieldy given that Hive Mind + Pacts is already a thing.

Yeah, and Hive Mind costs 6, of course.
