Caught in the Brights exiles a creature and keeps it gone as long as the enchantment stays on the battlefield — clean, permanent-feeling removal at three mana. The catch is enchantment removal bounces the creature back, which makes this worse than Swords to Plowshares in any format where that's an option.

In Commander, Caught in the Brights competes in a crowded bracket of three-mana white exile effects, and the enchantment-dependency is a real liability when artifact and enchantment removal is everywhere at four players. Pauper is its best home — the card pool there is shallow enough that unconditional creature exile at common is genuinely valuable, and opponents are less likely to be packing Naturalize effects at instant speed. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it's simply outclassed; those formats have cheaper, cleaner answers that don't leave a target on the board. Oathbreaker follows the Commander logic: fine if nothing better is available, but rarely the right pick.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Caught in the Brights is deep bulk — you're not buying this so much as finding it in a draft chaff pile. There's no meaningful price floor to protect, and demand isn't coming from any competitive quarter, so it stays there.
