Every Black EDH/Commander deck ever will want one of these. Unconditional, repeatable removal is really good.

It is here to make sure token decks don't get out of control. All the zombies, spirits and vampires have the same names, respectively. Also, 4 mana no questions asked removal is pretty good considering that usually costs 5.

One of those "safety valve" cards that get printed to make sure certain archetypes don't run rampant in the metagame. Looks like Wizards was a bit afraid of the idea of "Black Weenie" decks overrunning Standard. Modern already had Aether Snap, though this is cheaper.

A black removal where you get to target any creatures you want without any other restrictions sounds good enough for me at 4cc, even for sorcery speed. Exile is definitely a better form of removal than destroy (Unless you have a Cemetery Reaper or whatnot), and it just gets better when you can use it against tokens or clone.

The flashback cost might be a little costly, but compared to Chainer's Edict when flashbacked, its effect is certainly better.

This card is amazing.. hands down 5/5. It exiles and has a good chance of being a 2 for 1 on the first go. Then it chills in your graveyard, scaring your opponent into playing around it.

How this is under a 4 is mind boggling.

Oh is the Relentless Rat deck that everyone hates at our local Friday Night Magic going to feel pain from this card. Twice.

Don't you people realize that Black has barely any, if any, ability to exile? That makes this card bad ass. Yes sacrifice is kind of like that but exile ability is more powerful.

Just a odd question here for this card, as it has been a point of debate with friends, does this card include any creatures with the same name in deck/hand or is it only those out on the battlefield or graveyard?

Any of you who think this is color pie bleed because of the word exile don't understand the color pie.

This has:
- No additional targeting restrictions.
- Exiles target.
- Sometimes exiles multiple targets in one resolution.
- Reusable.
- Breaks the Color Pie.
Extremely good for Black. 'Sacrifice' -effect would have been good enough.

Only 3/5 for unnecessary Color Pie bleed.

Play against 7 other Relentless Rats decks in free-for-all.

Go last.

Once they all have 30 and a half rats on the field, this.

Laugh.

From a flavor point of view, the name says to me something like you're going back in time and slaying an ancestor of someone that's troubling you now" So, exile makes more sense.
In terms of color-pie, exile was initially white and almost never appeared in black on a removal spell. black does a good job of exiling graveyards, but not stuff in play. I really don't feel like this is meant to be a black card.
With constructed environments in mind (standard), It is something a lot of decks need. lingering souls is dominating, this card is quite splashable and very meta-ed as black cannot deal with intangible virtue itself and green cannot deal with the tokens en-masse. it punishes players that overextend for an easy kill.

This is a very nice card that unfortunately bleeds the color-pie. Exile perhaps wasn't necessary to still achieve the same constructed impact; however, i love the flavor of the card and exile was important to keep that.

should of said "Name a creature, exile all creatures with the chosen name". would have been nice to for this to get rid of hexproof creatures, even if there can only be one Sigarda, Host of Herons on the battle feild at a time.
