Exorcist is a repeatable, targeted answer to black creatures — pay one white mana at instant speed and exile whatever black threat is threatening your board, again and again for as long as you can pay. The cost is narrow focus: it does exactly nothing against every other color, so it's a sideboard-style hate piece rather than a maindeck staple.

In Commander, Exorcist occupies a niche hate slot — black is ubiquitous enough that the ability fires regularly, but the color-restriction means you're giving up a slot that could handle any threat. It earns a seat in dedicated white-creature-heavy builds or Shadowborn Apostle-style decks that expect black permanents across the table. In Legacy and Vintage, Exorcist is legal but too slow and too narrow to see meaningful play, where dedicated hate pieces like Rest in Peace or Leyline of the Void do more generalized work. Outside of Commander, the card is effectively a curiosity.
