I think I have already made this clear in my earlier posts, but yes, I know straight up exiling target creature or planeswalker is not a red effect. So... Don't worry, this is not my answer. I merely used this argument to explain why, in this corner case, I would choose this wording rather than...

Oh absolutely! I'm not saying you should definitely use the three mana spell, I'm saying that if your environment needs the effect, it's better to break the color pie a bit and use the elegant wording. Now, whether this is the case is doubtful, since red already has so many ways to deal with...

I am fully aware that red does not normally get to destroy creatures and planeswalkers, but it can effectively do so through thoroughly in-pie mechanics, as exiling, damaging creatures as well as planeswalkers, and dealing massive amounts of damage are on color. Case in point. Brutal Expulsion...

Eh... Direct damage deals with both of those. When they want a red spell to "destroy" they simply use an arbitrarily large number, viz. Star of Extinction. Also, there's been stuff like Aftershock and Grenzo's Rebuttal. It's not exactly on color, but it's not too much of a problem in this case...

Ok, understood. I don't know if the slight upside of ramping yourself by killing an artifact you control (something you don't really want to do most of the time) is worth the downside of ramping your opponent by killing an artifact they control (something you don't really want to do most of the...

Fair trade, but giving them a Mountain instead of an artifact can be a bad deal for you. Why not give them a treasure instead? Or make it treasure for artifact, and/or Mountain for non basic.

I think I just cut my last colorless sweeper (O-Stone) because it wasn't doing all that much, honestly.

This card is great with both Hollow One and Faith of the Devoted. Ancient Excavation

I am going to run both in my cube :)

Hey, I'm from the Netherlands and I got it too! :) #topgeareducation

Well, you can't accuse them of lacking foresight in this case then, even though they displayed some clear deficiencies in that department on other occasions #FoilTokensForFNM #FelidarSovereignGate #LetsDoAwayWithNationals

I still stalk MTGS ;) They use M25 as the abbreviation over there as well, though the official three-letter code for some unfathomable reason is indeed A25.

I'm quite certain this will be a must have for power cubes that allow for silver bordered cards after M25 comes out. Possibly with... That's a pretty good Rewind, if the basics also are treated with a watermark!

I couldn't care less about the watermark, but I'm always interested in seeing what cards get reprinted. They are reprinting a minimum of one card for each set ever this time! Since I'm trying to update everything to the new border eventually, these are my biggest hopes: Mana Tithe Necromancy...

That's a clever solution actually! Like it!

I like the Tinker Natural Order, but that shit should be {g/u} yo.

I found this Tezz just a bit too much in my cube when it worked, and not good enough when it didn't. I think Daretti is better, simply because it's cheaper? I don't know though, never played with it. I actually like (in my cube, which looks comparable): Tezzeret the Schemer

Sweet designs! Tip: right click on Swampcycling and disable the reminder text, then add it in by hand so you can change that second "Discard" into "discard".

I think that's more a problem with your friend than with the format. Not that Sol Ring isn't degenerate.

As an addendum to my already long post above, it's probably fair to say that WotC embracing the format and catering to it with specialized product has been both a blessing and a curse. For sure the player base has grown, but the reprints and new cards in them have been hit and miss.
