March of Otherworldly Light exiles any nonland permanent or spell regardless of type — artifacts, enchantments, planeswalkers, creatures, all of it — at instant speed, with X scaling the mana value ceiling as high as you need. The pitch cost of discarding white cards makes it free or near-free in the late game, and that flexibility puts it above most white removal.

In Commander, March of Otherworldly Light fills the role white has always struggled to fill cleanly: a single card that answers any permanent type without condition. The pitch mechanic means you'll often cast it for less than its printed cost in the mid-to-late game when white hands run heavy, which is exactly when you need an answer most. In Modern and Pioneer, it competes in white creature-light control shells as a clean answer to problematic permanents that Path to Exile and Prismatic Ending can't always reach. Legacy has too many faster, cheaper options for it to see consistent play, but it's never an embarrassment. Oathbreaker mirrors the Commander read — strong, flexible, earns its slot.

Price Context
Current price
$1.50 cheap tier
At $1.50, March of Otherworldly Light sits in cheap-staple territory where overperformers live. For a flexible instant-speed exile effect that scales with mana value and pitches for free, that price is well below what the utility justifies — pick it up now rather than wait for a reprint to move the needle further.
