Card notes: Path to Exile

Path to Exile is an instant costing {W} that exiles a target creature, then lets its controller search for a basic land, put it onto the battlefield tapped, and shuffle. The 2026-01-27 ruling says that player may decline to search, in which case they do not shuffle; if the target is illegal when Path to Exile tries to resolve, it does not resolve and none of its effects happen. It is legal in Modern and Commander, with 60 printings; EDHREC lists it in 2,349,067 of 4,894,812 decks it could fit.
