Pointed Discussion

Glad they sticked to this art

I was hoping for Rebecca Grey's version, Nordic warrior resting on his ship as he took his final voyage.

I wonder if this reprint will drive the price down, or if this is just always going to be a six dollar card despite being printed five times.

Who is buying every single playset of Path?

Yes, this art is better than the previous one.

Anyone notice that Modern Masters has been INCREASING the price of some modern cards? I think PtE went down, but still, I pulled a foil of it and got an Angel of Serenity for it. I would have built a playset but I prefer to trade/sell foils.

Woah guys, Path to Exile is played in Modern?

I NEVER NOTICED!

Gah, I hate the disintegrating lion-man art. Should've given us the Rebecca Guay art instead.

how interesting this price never changed inspite of being reprinted many times.
if this would be reprinted in todays standard, this would have been a mythic.

Too good. Way too good.

This is one of those card that can help or hurt you..... Mana ramping your opponent even once can end your game quickly.. Play this twice on the wrong creatures and you can be in serious trouble fast as they cast bigger spells or more per turn...

There are many options for instant removal... Everyone compares this to Condemn.. situationally, condemn is the better spell IF they are attacking... Situational... Often over looked is Dismember... Instant removal you can cast for 1... Same as path.. And instead of mana ramping them, you just lose 4 life... Often times, you will have the three mana open on their turn and can resolve it with no negatives... Any big creatures with toughness greater than 5 are probably attacking and can be condemned... Or chump blocked by a smaller creature and also dismembered.

T1 Plains OrnithopterOrnithopter Memnite Memnitepass turn
OT1 swamp Dark Ritual Phyrexian Etchings
End of opponents turn Path to Exile a Ornithopter
T2 Plains Tempered Steel attack for 8 :)

Decent card, but I think people tend to underestimate the drawback. Giving your opponent a free Rampant Growth is both card disadvantage and a tempo loss.

@mr8658 Care to explain how you have nine cards in your hand first turn without any card draw and being on the draw?

Why is every one talking about exiling the opponent's creatures? Exile your own white wienny and manna ramp. The first thing I thought of, at least. If it said destroy instead of exile, it would actually be really broken do to it's ability to fuel simple zombie or skeleton decks and providing mana ramp additionally. Good card is good

I wish they had reprinted this with Rebecca Guay's art. I have a playset with this art already but would like to get my hands on some with her version.

Exiling creatures for {W} is ridiculous... the fact that in a pinch you can use it to nab yourself a land at instant speed is even more ridiculous. You can even use it to cause opposing spells to 'fizzle'... example:

Opp: I'll cast Shivan Meteor targetting your Jackal Pup..

"In response, I'll Path to Exile it, and tutor up another Plains.

Of course, these circumstances are pretty narrow, but still it can do so much!

Has anyone mentioned Land Tax yet?

Wondering if Triad of Fates could place a fate counter on your own creature you plan to exile, gain the mana, then return it? How does the stack resolve? anyone?

i with still always like this with archive trap
creature removal in a white/blue control/mill deck is clutch, especially when it helps you play other spells
