Payoff

Deck

• Mono-Body, so 103.1.b.3 admits any legend with Body in its pair: SFD-203/SFD-250 Battle Mistress, OGN-257/OGN-304 Blind Monk, OGN-267/OGN-309 Bounty Hunter, VEN-141/VEN-190 Butcher of the Sands, VEN-149/VEN-194 Defender of Tomorrow, SFD-205/SFD-251 Grand Duelist, SFD-193/SFD-245 Grandmaster at Arms, UNL-203/UNL-237 Keeper of the Hammer, VEN-153/VEN-196 Matriarch of War, OGS-023 Might of Demacia - Starter, UNL-183/UNL-227 Pridestalker, SFD-183/SFD-241 Purifier, OGN-249/OGN-300 Relentless Storm, OGN-269/OGN-310 The Boss, UNL-201/UNL-236 Voidreaver, OGS-019 Wuju Bladesman - Starter, UNL-191/UNL-231 Wuju Master.
• Not banned or restricted in either format, and not a Signature card.
• Nothing else. The second mode makes it castable on an empty board against an empty trash.

Prerequisites

• 416.1.c IS WHY THE FIRST MODE IS ONE-SIDED. 'Each player Recycles cards to their own Main Deck and Rune Deck, regardless of which player is instructed to perform the Recycle action.' The card says 'from OPPONENTS' trashes' and 'their owners recycle them', so the cards go back into the opponent's deck and yours is untouched - and, read the other way, this spell can never fire your own 'when you recycle' payoffs, which is the trap the sibling walk on issue #169 recorded for OGN-235 Karma, Channeler: Disposal Order appears on her partner list and fires her never.
• WHAT IT ACTUALLY DENIES. 416.1 with 416.1.a puts recycled cards on the BOTTOM of the corresponding deck, so three cards leave the trash and are effectively gone for the rest of a normal game. That is aimed at three families the pool prints: the 47 'from your trash' lines, reanimation, and [Flow] - 829.1.b is 'You may play this from your trash for its flow cost. Then banish it', so a [Flow] card recycled away can never be replayed, and 108.6.c means a banished one never comes back either way.
• AND WHAT IT CANNOT DO. It never mills, so it never triggers 431.1.b's Burn Out; and 431.2.b ('a Burn Out recycles the whole trash into the Main Deck') means an opponent who burns out undoes this by themselves. Against a deck with no trash payoff, mode one is blank - which is exactly why mode two exists.
• THE PROPERTY WORTH A SLOT: IT IS UNCONDITIONALLY CASTABLE. 'Choose one - ... - Draw 1' means there is no board state in which this spell cannot be played, and 355.3 makes the mode a choice at the Make Relevant Choices step of playing the card. That is the exact property the cross-audit on issue #166 found missing in a spell chosen as filler for a 'you've played a spell this turn' condition, where a targeting spell had no legal target and the whole line evaporated. Filler must be unconditionally castable, and in Body this is the card that is.
• AND IT IS [REACTION], WHICH IS WHERE THE DENIAL LIVES. 813.1.c.1: 'This can be played during Closed States on any player's turn', and 813.1.b grants Reaction every permission of Action. So the recycle can answer a reanimation spell already on the Chain by removing the body it means to return - the target is chosen when that spell resolves, so timing matters, but a [Flow] replay announced from the trash can be answered by recycling a different key card, and a 'return a unit from your trash' effect can be answered before it picks.
• WHY IT IS A SINGLE-CARD ENTRY. Nothing in the pool makes it better - it is not a recycle you can chain, it fires none of your own triggers (416.1.c), and its second mode is a cantrip. Its value is the modality itself, which is a property of the card and not of a pairing.
• WHAT IT IS NOT. Nothing here scores; 469 defines Scoring as Conquer or Hold.

Steps

1. Hold Disposal Order (2 Energy) until the opponent commits to their trash - a reanimation spell, a [Flow] replay, or a 'from your trash' payoff.
2. Play it as a [Reaction] in the Closed State that spell opens (813.1.c.1) and choose mode one.
3. Choose up to 3 cards from their trash. 416.1.c sends them to THEIR own Main Deck or Rune Deck, and 416.1.a puts them on the bottom.
4. If they never build a trash, choose mode two instead and draw a card - the card is never dead, which is the whole reason to run it.
5. Note that this fires none of your own 'when you recycle' triggers: the recycling is done by their owners, to their own decks (416.1.c).

Per iteration

up to three cards removed from an opponent's trash to the bottom of their deck, or one card drawn

How it ends

engine only - three copies by 103.2.b, and mode one is blank against a deck with no trash payoff (which is what mode two is for); nothing here scores
