Rest in Peace
The total solution to graveyards, and the reason it endures while softer answers come and go. Earlier graveyard hate had to choose a lane: exile one card, exile one player's yard, fire once and leave. This is the symmetrical off-switch. It blanks both graveyards at once on the way in, then keeps blanking them for as long as it stays on the battlefield, because everything that would ever hit a graveyard is rerouted to exile instead. Nothing accumulates, so nothing can be reanimated, flashed back, escaped, delved, or counted. The cost of that completeness is symmetry: it shuts off your own graveyard payoffs as readily as the opponent's, which is why it lives in decks that simply do not care about their own bin. There is a real wrinkle in how it interacts with death triggers. Because the card is exiled instead of reaching the graveyard, "dies"-style triggers and last-known-information effects can behave differently than players expect, and an opponent leaning on a sacrifice-value engine often finds the engine quietly broken rather than slowed. It asks for no activation, no upkeep, no target. As an enchantment it sits under most of the disruption aimed at creatures and lands, and it answers the entire category of strategy in a single permanent. That is the bargain it offers: maximal coverage in exchange for total commitment.
