Angel of the Ruins — Exile with Purpose
Angel of the Ruins is a high impact late game threat that reads clearly and plays predictably. At seven mana it brings a flying 5 7 body and a triggered exile effect that targets artifacts and enchantments. That combination makes it a reliable answer to troublesome equipment or persistent auras while still pressuring the opponent from the skies.
In Commander decks that lean on control and piece removal this card offers a one time sweep that leaves the battlefield cleaner and your board intact. Plainscycling provides a built in tutor when you need a land to hit a critical curve point. The card fits thematically with Karlov Manor as an enforcer of order removing the things that sustain corrupt builds.
