Not great... at least it should have been an instant.

I don't like this card. Why? Because Path to Exile is better.
Hear me out.
For a long time, white has been what can only be called the weakest/worst colour, and for good reason. After Lorwyn, as early as Shards of Alara, white began to get good card- Elspeth, and then Path, with a few other cards showing up here and there. White was becoming a colour on par with most of the others.
And then we got M2010, and Baneslayer. Baneslayer Angel is not a good card, for several reasons. First, and most obviously, it's unbalanced. If you're unsure what I mean, refer to Serra Angel and Shepherd of the Lost, two balanced five-drop angels. Second, it gave Wizards an opportunity to abuse its new "Mythic" rarity. Its rarity was Baneslayer's only balance, and a poor one at that, and made it a card with such incredible demand that it is one of the most expensive cards in standard, putting it out of reach for many players.
Yet, despite... (see all)

Well. I bet black creatures suck, because black once had the best desruction spells. But nowadays, white creatures should suck for the same reason.
R&D, are you ignorant? Just sit back for a few minutes and think about what you do!
There are several ways to simulate destruction spells:
- destroy
- sacrifice
- exile
- put it on top of a library
- put it on the bottom of a library
- shuffle it into a library
- put it somewhere in a library
- return it to owner's hand
- put it into play under an opponent's control
- tranfer it into something different (a 0/0; a non-creature type, ...)
- imprint it
....
All of these effect represent different strategies and therefore different colors. You should focus on A FEW of them for white. And I think, white should have one of the worst ways to handle creatures. Instead it should use lifegain and card draw effects to compensate the disadvantage. THIS would be cooler than another SoP.

Idiots shouldn't be allowed to comment, Ousting a mana dork, or any other creature that isn't relevant is like stopping your opponent from drawing any cards that could help them for an entire turn for one mana, which is kind of a good thing I've heard if you're a control deck that has more cards, and is only concerned with locking people down.

"Strictly worse" means "there is no advantage that this has over the other card." This does not accelerate the opponent and enables different combos when used on yourself.
Being a sorcery kind of hurts this, but it's good, cheap removal for big guys, or even little guys since your opponent has to waste a draw on it.

It's not meant to be Path dude. In fact it's nothing like path. It is a great way to gain life by maybe sacrificing an unuseful token or replaying a card with a good cast-effect.

Strictly worse than Path to Exile.

Not very good at all. I'm not sure why it's getting rated so highly. You're giving your opponent three life to temporarily remove a creature, and all the best decks run bloodbraid elf and other cascade cards...i really hope this isn't supposed to be path to exile's replacement.

This card ***es me off so bad. Returning to library/hand is a BLUE EFFECT. White should only be exiling with a drawback, or destroying (sans "creature cannot be regenerated" which belongs to 
and 
) attacking or blocking creatures. Destroy effects with broader restrictions belong to BLACK.
Note how Green gets to put Stuff on top of the lib... (see all)
