Card face

What it does

Exile target creature. Its controller may search their library for a basic land card, put that card onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.

Attacking a kami is considered bad luck, so seasoned mages have developed techniques to usher them back to the spirit realm without violence.

Provenance

Where it came from

Path to Exile was originally released in the Conflux expansion in 2009. It quickly became a staple in various formats for its efficient removal capability, allowing a player to exile any creature for a single white mana at the cost of giving the opponent a basic land. Its design represents the foundational tension in Magic: the Gathering between raw power and situational drawback.

The Commander Masters version, featuring artwork by Ron Spears, serves as a high-visibility reprint within a set designed to celebrate the most influential cards in the Commander format. Spears, known for his work throughout the history of the game, maintains the thematic weight of the card’s exile mechanic, reinforcing the visual narrative of permanent displacement that the spell has conveyed since its inception.
