Exorcise hits any enchantment or creature — no restrictions, no conditions — for two white mana at instant speed. In a Ketramose, the New Dawn deck that wants to cast spells on opponents' turns, that flexibility and timing make it a direct slot-in over narrower removal.

Ketramose, the New Dawn
Ketramose, the New Dawn rewards casting spells on each player's turn, and Exorcise is exactly the kind of instant-speed, broadly applicable removal that turns an opponent's end step into a productive trigger rather than dead time.

In Commander, Exorcise earns its slot because enchantments are everywhere and instant-speed answers to them are scarce — most white removal at this cost is sorcery-speed or creature-only. In 60-card formats like Modern and Pioneer, it faces stiffer competition from more efficient options, and the hybrid cost, while flexible, doesn't save it from sitting behind Prismatic Ending and March of Otherworldly Light on the power ranking. Standard is where Exorcise is most likely to see genuine maindeck play, since the card pool is shallower and its broad targeting covers more of what actually matters in the format. Legacy and Vintage have no room for a two-mana removal spell with no upside beyond reach.

Price Context
Current price
$0.37 bulk tier
At $0.37, Exorcise is bulk — easy to pick up, easy to slot in without budget friction. That price is stable; a two-mana instant removal spell with no constructed breakout potential doesn't spike.
