Exile Removal

Permanent answers that send the target to exile rather than the graveyard, sidestepping death triggers, recursion, and indestructible. Covers clean spot exile like Swords to Plowshares and Vraska's Contempt, broad nonland exile like Anguished Unmaking, mass modal exile like Farewell, and lock-style enchantments like Oblivion Ring and Banishing Light that exile until they leave. Narrower subset of removal.spot_removal when single-target; the two co-fire on cards like Swords to Plowshares. Distinct from removal.bounce, which returns to hand instead of exiling, and from flicker effects that exile your OWN permanents temporarily as a blink trick rather than answering an opposing threat.
