Created for Challenge # 038.
Very nice. Reminiscent of Last Stand. Good balancing of power levels: I think these effects cost
, 
, 
, 
, and about 
. It's interesting that mono-white hasn't had "Exile target creature" yet (although Bant Charm comes close), only hybrid in Unmake. The green effect seems to be the cheapest based on Stonewood Invocation as comparison, but it's still a very strong effect to pull out at instant speed.
Iona's Judgment looks like the closest white has to pure "Exile target creature, no giving its owner life or anything, even if it isn't attacking right now" Though Path to Exile seems pretty damn hot.
Seems like something they're probably avoiding, so as not to force "All other exile effects with a downside have to be cheaper than this", though
seems pretty cheap, really.
Reminds me of (though very different from) the simultaneous submissions in the Great Designer Search: 'Boon-Dongle' and 'Oh My God!'. For reference, Boon-Dongle looked like this:
Boon-doggle (Rare)
Instant
Gain 3 life or prevent 3 damage from being dealt to a single target!
Add 3 black mana to your mana pool.
Boon-doggle deals three damage to one target.
Target creature gains +3/+3 until end of turn.
Oh, and by the way, draw 3 cards of force opponent to draw three cards.
When I went searching for this card, I googled up "Magic the Gathering boons Oh My God", I got back "Boobs at The Gathering of Juggalos! [NSFW]". Oh, internet, you so crazy.
