Debt to the Kami

Instant2 generic manaBlack mana

Black's edict tradition, from Diabolic Edict onward, has almost always sent the sacrificed creature to the graveyard, where reanimation and death triggers turn a concession into fuel. Swap that graveyard destination for exile and the whole calculus shifts: the opponent still chooses what dies, but now they cannot claw it back, and whatever they hand over is gone for good. That single lever is what quietly upgrades a familiar template. The second mode is the stranger addition: an instant-speed way for a mono-black card to strip an enchantment, a permanent type black normally has no clean answer to on its own. Bundling creature-removal and enchantment-removal into one modal instant gives it a reach most edicts lack, and the instant timing lets it answer a token about to be sacrificed, a hexproof threat that dodges targeted removal, or an enchantment mid-plan. Because it asks the opponent to make the choice, it is at its weakest against a wide board and at its sharpest against a deck committed to a single key permanent. The exile clause is the payoff that keeps it honest against recursion: it removes less reliably than a spell that names its target, but what it does take, it takes permanently.
