Cast Out exiles any nonland permanent — creatures, planeswalkers, artifacts, enchantments — for four mana at instant speed, and the cycling clause means it's never a dead card in hand. In most white Commander decks it earns its slot; in Gavi, Nest Warden it's a removal spell that also fuels the commander's token engine for free.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Gavi, Nest Warden
Gavi, Nest Warden makes Cast Out's cycling cost zero the first time each turn, so you get a free card draw trigger and a Cat Dinosaur token whenever you pitch it — removal that generates board presence for no extra mana is exactly what the engine wants.
Aminatou, Veil Piercer
Aminatou, Veil Piercer cares about permanents with ward and enchantments entering or leaving, and Cast Out is a flicker-friendly enchantment that can be bounced and replayed to repeatedly exile problem permanents while advancing Aminatou, Veil Piercer's constellation-adjacent gameplan.
Anikthea, Hand of Erebos
Anikthea, Hand of Erebos reanimates enchantments from the graveyard as token copies, so Cast Out doubles as both interaction and a recursion target — if it hits the bin, Anikthea, Hand of Erebos can bring it back and lock down another permanent.
Temmet, Naktamun's Will
Temmet, Naktamun's Will runs heavy enchantment themes across its Aura and embalm synergies, and Cast Out fits as flexible interaction that slots naturally into the enchantment count Temmet, Naktamun's Will wants to support.

In Commander, Cast Out is a reliable utility enchantment — instant-speed unconditional exile is hard to find in white at any price, and the cycling floor means you're never stranded with it against a creature-light board. In Modern and Pioneer it competes with cheaper targeted removal and rarely makes the cut outside enchantment-matters shells or sideboards. Legacy has access to better options at every point on the curve, so Cast Out doesn't see play there. Oathbreaker mirrors Commander's verdict: worth running when enchantment synergies exist or when the cycling redundancy matters for consistency.

Price Context
Current price
unknown tier
Pricing data isn't available for Cast Out at the moment, but as a widely printed uncommon it typically sits well under a dollar at most retail and buylist outlets. Pick up copies from bulk bins rather than singles orders — it's easy to find and almost never worth paying a premium for.
