(Was 3WU sacrifice for effect.)
The bailiff was a character (possibly named?) in the Return to Ravnica novels and key to the actual resolution of the Implicit Maze by being the one to make Jace the living Guildpact.
Hm. 5 mana for your choice of Holy Day, Falter, or... Spectra Ward without the pump, i.e. Mask of Law and Grace+Shield of Duty and Reason+White Ward.
Strange. I don't see the connection between the options. Looks expensive; I guess that's what you get for the flexibility. I don't think I'd normally want to sacrifice my 5-mana 3/3 to cast Holy Day, but I suppose if it was going to have to chump block anyway... Also doesn't really look mythic rare (especially as a 5-mana 3/3).
Personally I suspect that 2G is actually a little pushed for this as a common (cf. also Hunt the Weak). Plus with white losing the protection spells, all the removal spell have simultaneously jumped up in value (as I noticed playing g/b at the prerelease). Interestingly, that very change seriously amped up the value of Fiery Conclusion against fight and cards like Unholy Hunger.
Or rather, those cards are tailored for different Limited environments. I imagine Wild Instincts started off at 3 mana, and Development would have been happy to knock it down to 2 or up to 4 according to how the different colours and colour-pairs were working out in Limited. Presumably green was a smidgen too good when it was 3, so up to 4 it went.
Apparently I was quite off given Wild Instincts.
It's just the Rakdos Augermage ability, now in standalone form.
Interesting. I wonder if you even need to be Coercioned, or if discarding any card is 'cost' enough. Unmask seems to infer that that would be fine... though that's a pretty old card to compare anything to (with a star rating of 4.4...)
This seems shorter than the option of doing the operation twce with different words.
Ooh, nice. Reminiscent of Gut Shot.
nevermind that

It was just an intriguing idea. Generally black prefers mucking with stuff (including exile) once it's in the graveyard rather than upfront. Silence is clearly your classic third-set safety valve against bestow (see also Deicide and Back to Nature re: enchantments in general).
Although these various cards have specific circumstances, they are still unusual and oddly concentrated in time, hence my wondering if we'll stop seeing them for a while.
