White’s Permanent Removal

I always thought white could destroy/exile any kind of permanent given enough mana, color symbols, or other costs/conditions. At the very least it has a lot of effects that are pretty close (Archon of Justice, Mangara of Corondor, Saltblast, Angelic Purge, Karmic Justice, etc.). The flavor's always made sense to me as a high-level judgment that something has gone beyond being safely/effectively imprisoned, particularly if taking care of it requires some self-sacrifice for the sake of society.

White can Oblivion Ring “target permanent” but monowhite isn’t supposed to get “destroy (or exile) target permanent”.

Destroy Target Permanent

"Destroy target permanent" can be done with Beast Within (Green), Cloudchaser Kestrel (White), Desert Twister (Green), Karmic Justice (White), Tornado (Green), and a couple colorless cards, though Desert Twister is the only one of them that only says "Destroy target permanent" and nothing else

All of those are color break except the Kestrel, which only destroys enchantments, and the colorless cards.
