See Challenge # 106.

I like the second two modes a lot, but it seems like the first really stretches the pie.

by Jack V:

Doh! I was a fool, I'm so used to typing "destroy target permanent" on any WB card I forgot I was supposed to be doing a hybrid. Oops :) Thanks for pointing it out. OK, that's going to change, not sure what to yet.

by Jack V:

OK, lets try "exile target creature". Ideally that would have some restriction, as B normally just does destroy, and white normally doesn't get nonconditional creature removal, but I'm not sure what would fit. I think "exile target creature" is occasionally ok, though IIRC Rosewater doesn't agree... :)

by Alex:

It's certainly got precedent, in Unmake. Black also does get exile-based removal occasionally: Nemesis Trap, Sever the Bloodline, probably a couple of others.
