Spot Removal

Targeted removal that kills or exiles one opposing permanent at a time, the workhorse interaction for answering specific threats. Covers staple kill spells like Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares, Murder, Fatal Push, Hero's Downfall, and broader answers like Beast Within and Anguished Unmaking. Includes removal.exile_removal as the narrower subset that uses exile rather than destroy. Broader than type-specific siblings removal.artifact_removal, removal.enchantment_removal, removal.planeswalker_removal, and removal.land_destruction, which focus on a single permanent type. Distinct from removal.board_wipe, which hits many permanents at once, from removal.bounce, which returns to hand instead of killing, from removal.burn, which deals damage, and from removal.sacrifice_removal, which forces the opponent to choose what dies.
