# Excommunicate Excommunicate is a straightforward white removal spell from Shards of Alara that exiles a creature. For collectors, it represents the set's mechanical identity during a period when white removal often came with exile effects rather than destruction. The card holds modest appeal beyond casual play, though it appears in some limited-focused collections. The foil variant carries slightly more collector interest due to foil scarcity from that era, though neither version commands significant attention. Shards of Alara commons are generally collected as complete set pieces rather than individually. Excommunicate fits that pattern—useful for set completion but unremarkable on its own merits.
