Why was this card ever printed. Its a 1 drop exile spell and the only draw back is your opponent gets a land. I love the card but it seems like it is just to powerful.

In most formats, that 1 land draw back is a HUGE drawback.

Giving an opponent a free land in a competitive game is very dangerous and risky. It opens up there possibilities. Swords to Plowshares is a much better card since life points most of the time don't matter. You are still going to kill them

The power nine say hi. Path to Exile is hardly the worst offender when compared to the like of Ancestral Recall , heh.

Path is really only good if you are running Aven Mindcensor or similar. Well.. its good otherwise, but not awesome. In legacy you will see Swords to Plowshares more often, and that card is amazing. Also, even if you exclude vintage stuff like P9, there are way better cards. Why, oh god WHY was Show and Tell ever printed? :)

the one land isn't a huge drawback if you save them for late game fatties...

Swords to Plowshares is probably (arguably) even more powerful, so it's a downgrade
