C'mon guys, don't act so surprised.
We all know the rule
"The more versatile a targeted removal spell is, the more expensive.

@HairlessThoctar: Well said, sir.
@Tommy9898: I like your thinking.
This card is still a bit too expensive for what it does.

Should cost Phyrexian mana, definitely, but not completely useless. Gets rid of your opponent's most dangerous and/or expensive creature before they attack with it, deprives them of a blocker on your turn, messes up their draw for a turn, and makes them tap all their mana to play their threat again.
Then really make them mad with Forced Worship.
Or it can counter any activated artifact ability, or let you change the target of your Oblivion Rings.
Hmm, actually you know, it's really not that bad.

Thanks R&D.
I've prayed a long time that white should have no removals, but bounce spells instead. The color of life, community and honor shouldn't be so fast to judge and to exile anything it dislikes... without the hope of pardon.
Although this isn't the best card ever printed, it's a cautious step into a new territory... and changes in the color pie usually provokes aggressive responds... I should know.
If you look at the cost of Repel, Ether Well and the sorcery speed Temporal Eddy, this card isn't overcosted per se.
The problem - ehh I mean the challenge is - that Magic had always have cheap removals ( Swords to Plowshares and Terror since alpha) and as the time had passed, they got common and somehow irremovable. These cards stabilize the game, but they usually do suppress a lot of other options like tapping, preventing damage, bounce, reducing the power, etc. How cheap s... (see all)

So who is the idiot that put that 
in the mana cost and omitted the word "land" from the rules text??

@Cloudchaser they are spells unless they are on the stack/battlefield, so no.

With; oust, excommunicate and this banishment decree, you can make a brutal denial deck that doesn't let them get a good top deck ever.
