Devouring Light

Combat Rules Clarification

Hey maro! If I attack with a 2/2 creature and my opponent declares a 2/2 blocker. Before combat damage is dealt if I cast devouring light on his blocker will the damage get through to the player?

Nope. Once blocked, the only way to deal damage to the player is if you have trample (or the ability to apply your damage directly to the player when blocked).

Exile Cards Controversy

So, white removal usually just imprisons temporarily (Pacifism, Oblivion Ring), punishes people for fighting (Devouring Light, Wing Shards), or compensates people for their loss (Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile). So what's the justification for cards that just plain exile something? Yes, technically they're banishing instead of killing, but in reality they're just killing forever in a way that's much harsher than black.

I am not a fan of those cards and try to stop them when I can.
