Scour From Existence 7
Instant (C)
Exile target permanent.
"Our people and our very lands disappear as if they never were. We no longer fight for glory, or honor. We battle now for the right to exist."
-General Tazri, allied commander

Holy overpriced even in limited balls batman. I guess they really don't want answers to exist at affordable levels against the edlrazi.

Scour from Existence. 7cmc instant, exile target permanent. Huh.

'Bangs head against the wall repeatedly'
In Leonidas voice 'THIS. IS.BULLS@@T!!!'

This limited format is going to be strange, eh?

Nice! They've been enforcing the idea that colorless can answer any permanent at 7 for a while now, with Spine of Ish Sah, Karn Liberated, Unstable Obelisk. This does so at Instant and at Common. Very elegant.

This doesn't surprise me at all, except I'm surprised it isn't uncommon. Or rare, considering the rest of this set.

So many ways to deal with limited bombs in this set. Things that produce multiple threats seem to be the only way to go in limited. Should make for an interesting draft I suppose.

Utter End that can hit lands and is colorless. Yeah, I can see why it costs 7...this is going to go in a lot of budget EDH builds.

I've played my fair share of Trostani's Judgment in draft, I can survive paying 1 more for a similar effect.

The common's and uncommon's really are shaping up to look more unique than the rares.

I really like this for some reason. It's very novel. And hey, at least it's not a rare.

reminds me of Spine of Ish Sah and Desert Twister none of those are particularly strong cards in a vacuum.
at least this one is common and instant...
will destroy lots of stuff in limited for sure

Great flavor.

Instant-speed, extremely versatile removal and includable in any Commander deck in existence. It might cost 7 but that won't be too big of a deal in Commander. This might be a staple.

There's something...elegant about this. Maybe it's just the simplicity of the effect (three-word spell) combined with the single number in the casting cost and the lack of color on the card. It looks nice. And it's not even a terrible card, as commons go, especially in colors without strong removal options (it's convenient that GU, GR, and UR all seem to be ramp archetypes to some extent).

I...might actually play this in my Melek deck if I put it back together, just to have a strong answer to enchantments that isn't Chaos Warp. Oh, and my spare Spine of Ish Sah should also probably be included, but Scour has the advantage of being copyable off of Melek or the other spell-doubling effects, as well as being instant speed. In any case, more options never hurts.

Also, Tazri's first flavortext, I think!

I'm big fan of this for mono-R EDH. Sure, Karn Liberated is generally better, but I don't have to play $35 for this, the instant speed matters, and I can flash it back with Past in Flames or copy it with Fork.

Daaaaamn, exiling anything and at common? How will limited players EVER be able to deal with that? can't believe this isn't rare, geez...

lol i kinda like this card.Snap mono green got aanother removal

This costs exactly the amount that it should. Utter End + 2 for changing colors to colorless + 1 for hitting lands.

No way will this be a staple. It's barely playable at 7. At this point it's going to hard to compete with some of the cheaper, easier to abuse, removal. Mono black might want this but other than that... Nah.

love this. It is high costed but can be in any deck, instant speed, and any permanent. going into my red and black edh decks.

This set is very wierd... The commons are WAY more interesting than the rares! I love it
