White's Excommunicate/Oust Style Effects

New • 19 Jun 2021 • Asked by honor-basquiat • 28 Comments

Can white still do Excommunicate/Oust style effects? Unexpectedly Absent is one of my favorite cards but it seems like it's been years since we've seen a new card with this effect in mono white.

That ability is no longer in white. White can shuffle cards into the library, but not place it N cards down.

Is Unexpectedly Absent still in White's color pie, or is it just in Blue?

Time Ebb was blue at first, then you made Excommunicate in white, then said the ability was back in blue with Griptide and Totally Lost. Now we've had Unexpectedly Absent and Quarry Colossus. Is it white again? White and blue?

It’s supposed to be blue.
