Another aspect of Teruga was casting out people who were worthwhile but not a good fit. I try to capture that flavour here.
I think white getting occasional "no answers" exiling is ok, and this is a place where the rare "nonwhite" rider feels really, really right to me, on a good-but-not-cheap common removal card.
Mmm. Yes, as a tweak on Angelic Edict this is solid. Perhaps a bit cheaper than development would like. (Of course, if it were uncommon it could be cheaper.)
I was wondering what the natural Teruga "exile target [something] creature" could look like: my first thought was "attacking or blocking creature" but I don't think that's quite right. I wondered about "creature with power less than 4", which allows it to be rather cheaper (cf Last Breath), playing into the same flavour as your Elite Recruitment. But "nonwhite" is another great take on it, exiling those who're a bad fit for Teruga by temperament rather than by weakness. Nice.
I also considered "creature with power 4 or more", with a flavour of "too passionate" rather than "too weak", but "too weak" is equally good.
I realise this is quite good at common, I imagined there was some development reason for it :) It seemed to fit well, but it might have to be upcosted, or redesigned as an uncommon.
See Challenge # 112.

Thanks!

Or maybe make a Journey to Nowhere variant.
