Interacting: Removal For Your Deck

Interacting with your opponent is very important being responsive or reactive that's what magic is all about. Learning when to be responsive and when to react is always hard that's why you need to play the right removal.

In this post I want to get out of the way why some removal is bad(situational) and others good(works almost all the time).

Why is Path to Exile good? You know its good because everyone tells you its good but why is better then say Divine verdict.

Well lets look at Path and see why it's good no conditions need to be meet to remove a creature.
It only cost 1 mana.
It's only downside is it gives your opponent a free basic land(not much of a downside).
And it removes Platinum Angel.

Now lets look at Divine Verdict first a condition must be meet.
It cost 4 mana.
Does not remove Platinum Angel.

Why do I say Platinum Angel? Because as you play you realize there are quite few creatures out there that don't have to attack to make your life miserable. And you need to be able remove these creatures to win.

The point is out right removing a creature is always better then disabling it.
