Clean Removal with a Cost
Path to Exile is a compact, precise removal spell that still finds a place in many Commander lists. Cast for a single white mana, it exiles a problematic creature outright. The exchange is straightforward and brutal. You end up trading a land for tempo. That trade fits decks that can punish slow land drops or that prefer answers which permanently remove threats rather than merely neutralize them for a turn.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan art the exile effect feels elemental and final. Use it against key creatures that enable combos or that block critical attackers. Its simplicity makes it easy to play around and easy to sequence. Deck builders will recognize Path to Exile as a staple answer in white strategies that prioritize consistency, inevitability, and board control.
