The last two, Shadow of the Grave and Oketra's Attendant, do not have exile effects.

Granted, I wondered myself why it didn't show up more in the set given that they included the "Exile zone" now. The necessity for this hasn't been made clear, I think.

Matthew said: ight now, there is an imbalance in the various levels of rarity where Exile as a mechanic exists, which will make it available to only a certain few players.
Formulator said: So... is there any benefit at all in exiling the top card of your opponent's library? Like, what if there was a card that exiled the top 35 cards of a library? Is there any statistical difference?
