| You may choose to play Grave Servitude as an instant; if you do, bury it at end of turn.
Enchanted creature gets +3/-1 and is black.

Grave Servitude is one of a new variant of creature enchantments, referred to as "instant enchantments." Instant enchantments offer a choice: the permanence of an enchantment or the speed and flexibility of an instant.
Choices, choices, choices. You can give your creature +3/-1 instantly to deal surprise extra damage, or give it +3/-1 permanently (this works well on a creature your opponent cannot block). You can give your opponent's creature +3/-1: a good way to get rid of "Tim" or Knights of Stromgald. Oh, and in its spare time, Grave Servitude is effectively a counterspell against Terror and Dark Banishing.
