White doesn't typically get an unconditional "destroy target creature" I think, usually needing the creature to be big or attacking. It gets to exile a creature though.

What makes this blue though? White has the potential to permanently removen creatures, artifacts, and enchantments from the battlefield. Blue hasn't destroyed anything in recent memory.

Also, I don't think white gets to kill planeswalkers, and I believe blue isn't supposed to have answers to planeswalkers once planeswalkers are on the battlefield. To be honest, I could see blue's bounce occasionally hitting planeswalkers though as space that could open up in the future.

I guess I just wanted to make multicolored unconditional removal with a drawback, but I wasn't quite sure what colors it should be besides white. Idk why I chose blue though besides blue's spooky disappearance type flavor. Black probably makes more sense.

You're right it should be exile though.
