@a7141988 - Sending a General to the command zone is a replacement effect for if the general would normally go to the graveyard. The player could choose to have their general go to the graveyard, in which case it would go to the bottom of the library, or they could choose to have it go into the command zone, which is by far the more likely scenario.
Cards such as Condemn don't mention the graveyard at all and do not involve the graveyard at all, so the player has no choice but to put their general in their library.

@scruffynerfherder except that Sterling Grove doesn't protect itself.
+ Tranquility as mentioned by CB

I disagree that it is only for the side board. Mill is defiantly not the first thing I think of when I see this card. and this is not the first thing I think of when I want to counter mill. This is a combo card, 2 mana to enable a rather large number of infinite combos. And while most infinite combos are little more than timmy win mores. They are quite fun.

@psyklone
Two Groves will protect each other, though. Considering they're tutors too, it's well worth playing 4 if you use them.
Also, on Tranquility: Mana Leak it, you're running blue. Or if they try Back to Nature, you can Bant Charm it.

With Traumatize, it's "Cut target deck."
Also, the artwork reminds me of a prog metal album cover.

"1. If this card enchanting your opponent and Leyline of the Void are both on the battlefield, WTF is supposed to happen? "
This card means the cards never make it into the graveyard to be exiled :). Wording is king.

Enchant an opponent who think they're clever for playing the 'Graveborn' deck and watch as the real fun begins :D
This would look good in my side deck!

Need one of these for my Captain Sisay EDH deck. Put all legendary cards back in the library, where Sisay can find them.
