Should this really be a white card? I mean, the mechanics seem white enough, but the flavor is way off. Isn't white representative of truth? False Prophet is the ultimate rattle-snake. If your opponent has more creatures than you, there is no way he's going to want to go anywhere near this guy.

I want to go out on a limb and point out what white is. It's equality, it's fairness, it's religion. This is a GREAT example of a white card it kills both sides equally in the name of a deity like it or not.

The flavor of white can include deluded self righteousness, which is what a false prophet typically has.

Amazing flavor, and a very playable and combo-able ability.

You can use this as a blocker to trigger its effect or kill it off yourself to trigger it. It's very useful against indestructible creatures.

A false prophet that knows he's a rattlesnake and knowingly does wrong is black.
A false prophet who deludes himself into thinking his lies are cause of real good is white.

Is there any prophet that is not a false prophet?

Well, someone has to say it.
Dies to removal..... =_=
I think this is one of the few cards, (i.e. Darksteel collosus) That that term actually means something to.

Wrath of God or Day of Judgment are obviously better if you're running indestructible or regenerating creatures, but if your goal is to just wipe the board of creatures for good, there are few options better than this guy. The only danger of using him over Final Judgment is if you don't have a way of getting him into the graveyard immediately and you're playing against a white or blue deck with Path to Exile or Time Ebb.

Use Despotic Scepter and you can kiss goodbye to the likes of Progenitus, Darksteel Colossus and all of the dreaded eldrazzi. Depending on your opponents deck you could blackmail him with this. I would have preferred him to be 2/1 :D
I thought white was about honour, law, virtue and stuff like that. This seems to be the leader of a suicide cult... seems very, very black to me. Someone said something about day of judgement being fair... killing all regardless of whether they're evil or not doesn't seem very fair or lawful in my eyes. Neither does raising the dead from the grave. White has many cards that feel black imo.
Furthermore, since the flavour text suggest he makes his followers die, why are they removed from the game instead of being destroyed/put into the graveyard? Is it because they jump off a cliff (as the art suggests) and their bodies cannot be found?

They're exiled not because their bodies can't be found, but because their souls have been so deluded with false conviction that they can never bond with reality again... The prophet has taken their spirits, but nobody knows where.
I don't think I've ever had a card excite me like this guy. You can use him in a combo/ control deck; just get rid of him as soon as you play him using Altar of Bone, Mask of the Mimic, Scapegoat (if you can convince your opponent that works in your advantage), et cetera. You can use him in an enchantment or equipment heavy aggressive deck; if somebody does get rid of your guy with three equipments and two auras on him, they get rid of their army as well. Just having him on the table as a blocker works in your favor; people don't want to attack when your chump blocker obliterates their whole field when he dies.
Against most any deck that wins with creatures, this is a single card that can shut down five, ten, twenty of theirs. It's a little expensive and it keeps you from running lots of creatures yourself, but with imagination he's a Peacekeeper, Wrath of God, Moat and more all rolled into one. Love this card.

This card could black but they made it white because hes a false profit in white colors. he looks, talks, and acts righteous. But is he intentionally deceptive or is he "crazy". If he was deceving to cause harm he needs to be black. I think he just had allot of convition in a false religion, or just had a strong conviction but a loopy mind in the right one. With the name "false" it suggests deceptive, so he should be black with that name.
its always harmless stuff like this that makes the disgusting antitheist nerds come out of the woodwork
cool card!

@Stronos True, but either A) he thinks he's right and but is in fact wrong or B) since when in the time of Urza was there a religon that enough people believed in to be capable of maintaining this kind of man. He's a delusional priest. Priests are usually white.

Careful what you say, or you just might draw the Wrath of God, during the final Day of Judgment shortly before Armageddon. On that day, those with Diabolic Intent shall be Routed, and cast down into the Burning Fields of eternal Hellfire.

And I'm totally not joking ;)
cool card!
Two mana - Exile all creatures. Your opponent will WISH those two mana were for a counter spell.
