Clean Sweep of Relics
Return to Dust is a compact removal spell for white decks that exchanges two white mana and two generic mana for clean board answers. The card text is plain and reliable: exile target artifact or enchantment. If you cast this spell during your main phase, you may exile up to one other target artifact or enchantment. That conditional bonus pushes this from single target removal into a practical sweep for paired permanents, making it efficient in toolbox style decks and in commanders that tax graveyard interaction.
In play it reads as a predictable solution to sticky artifacts and enchantments that resist destruction. Use it proactively on your main phase to clear multiple threats or reactively to stop a combo piece. The card fits neatly into white strategies that prioritize tempo and permanence control while staying aligned with the Lost Caverns of Ixalan theme of unearthing old power and laying it to rest.
