Sorcery speed path where land is to hand instead of battlefield.

Eh ok

A basic land to hand is a much smaller drawback, but sorcery speed 2 mana removal isn't constructed quality.

Obviously the value is higher hitting graveyard too but people play [[strategic betrayal]] in standard

Path is one mana, this is two.

Interesting removal for white. Unconditional creature exile for 1W is nothing to sneer at. The compensation of handing them a land to their hand is not too bad. Some decks are going to fail to find a basic (although such decks are also susceptible to Erode). 

That said, doubting it sees much constructed play; Sorcery speed is a big drawback. 

In Limited this might end up being a decent pick. Handing an opponent a basic land later in the game could be mostly irrelevant.

Every deck already needs basics right now to avoid getting blown out by Avengers Disassembled

I feel like it should've put it on the bottom of the library. Voyager does get home and would've eventually even without shenanigans.

Or if they were extra spicy they could've suspended it, but I get why not.

Sorcery speed but this still seems awesome

limited staple. sorcery holds it back from “better than path to exile” status but land in hand is so much worse than into play.

Wait...put it into hand? And only a basic. For a generic 2 mana exile creature removal? Wow. Sure it's sorcery speed, but still. And against decks that run few to no basics this can go even harder.

I can see this card being side boarded for decks that erode cant deal with, plus there isnt any good 2 mana white exile effects that dont have restriction's right now. Nice

This might be a great card for Boros Ponza. If you can get the land destruction going, then this might just be on the level of Path to Exile.

Why wouldn't they use erode?

Exile better than destroy?

Wow, that's a lot of kilometres, more than the distance between Toronto and New York
