Divine Gambit

Questioning Green's Exiling Abilities

"Green was the original color to exile artifacts" - I believe the issue isn't that Green exiling artifacts and enchantments is a new thing, it's that it's seen as more of a White effect than a Green effect, something which is backed up by the numbers. Not counting Kaldheim, there are 3 monogreen cards in black border that can exile artifacts and/or enchantments. Monowhite has 28. Given this, I'm sure you can understand why fans are upset by Masked Vandals seeming to be better than Divine Gambit.

Exiling isn’t limited to one color. If a color can destroy something it’s allowed to exile it if the environment calls for it.

Exile Effects in Kaldheim

There seems to be a significant number of Exile effects in Kaldheim (Ravenform, Feed the Serpent, Crush the Weak, Divine Gambit). Was there a design reason that the team wanted this much Exile?

Yes, Kaldheim has a graveyard as resource theme.
