# Inevitable Betrayal
- **Mana Cost:** `N/A` (CMC: 0)
- **Type:** Sorcery
- **Keywords:** Suspend

## Oracle Text
Suspend 3—{1}{U}{U} (Rather than cast this card from your hand, pay {1}{U}{U} and exile it with three time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may cast it without paying its mana cost.)
Search target opponent's library for a creature card and put that card onto the battlefield under your control. Then that player shuffles.
