Part of me wonders whether the exile clause is really necessary, but part of me thinks it probably is, just to make it powerful enough for milling to be a viable strategy.

As a pure mill card, it feels blue, but as a Pulse, black works well. In particular, the contrast with Mind Erosion plays up the differences between Blue and Black.

The aim of the exile clause was to allow its self-buyback effect to have a chance of triggering; I think it'll be pretty hard to self-mill enough to get the buyback otherwise. I imagine that's what you meant by "make it powerful enough".
