Vanish from Sight puts a creature on top of its owner's library — a clean tempo hit that denies both the board and the draw for a turn — at three mana instant speed. It's a solid role-player in blue decks that want to interact without committing to hard exile or bounce.

In Commander, Vanish from Sight earns its slot in decks that care about the top-of-library detail — putting an opponent's commander there forces a choice between drawing a blank and tucking it to the command zone. In Pauper, three mana is steep for a tempo spell when Snap and Vapor Snag exist, so Vanish from Sight rarely makes the cut competitively. Across Modern, Pioneer, and Legacy, it's simply outclassed by cheaper or cleaner interaction. Standard is its most viable non-Commander home, where the card pool is shallow enough that the top-of-library clause has real teeth.
