The only catch is that exile-until and Divine Verdict are both ways to get around the color pie rule of "white doesn't get unconditional removal" and there's not so much need to get around it in both ways at once.lpaulsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07772860908442278112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-46528691838892191112020-08-17T20:33:36.700-04:002020-08-17T20:33:36.700-04:00Yeah, I had the multiplayer applications for this ...Yeah, I had the multiplayer applications for this in the back of my head. On the other hand, Fight to the Death is probably more powerful and its EDHREC rank is in the 9500's, i.e. barely the top half of all black-bordered cards ever printed.lpaulsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07772860908442278112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-41822181558454942102020-08-17T20:14:44.878-04:002020-08-17T20:14:44.878-04:00Good point, I hadn't considered that.

It may just not work: I think there never been a flash-exile-until-target-attacker-or-blocker so maybe make that one with a different flavour?<br /><br />Or if you want to find something that works with this flavour, try to find a bonus that ties into the creatures, eg N life per exiled creature? Or something that happens every turn. Or have an expensive activation that returns one of the creatures to the battlefield?Jack (cartesiandaemon)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08258267965242039995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-47463863226088056032020-08-16T17:33:52.597-04:002020-08-16T17:33:52.597-04:00This could slot nicely into a multiplayer free for...This could slot nicely into a multiplayer free for all focused draft set, especially one with Goad, and it likely has a home in some commander decks (Marisi, or even a heavy token producing deck for example).<br /><br />If you could target blocking creatures as well, I think this could be useful in an aggressive white deck in a standard format. <br /><br />The concept makes a ton of sense though and is super evocative, so nice job on that!<br />Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007944919344292381noreply@blogger.com
