White Creature Removal

[Blue_Nightmare]

I was just wondering what you all thought the best creature removal is for white. Obviously swords to plowshares and wrath of god, but what comes next?

I suggest you add more to this thread because it is certainly lacking content, and it is bound to get locked, but to answer your question i would say Condemn.

it reads:

Condemn
CC: W
Instant
Put target attacking creature on the bottom of its owner's library. Its controller gains life equal to its toughness.

Its no Swords to Plowshares but its pretty good IMO. It doesnt completely get rid of the creature like StP, and it also requires that creature to be attacking, but, it has a cheap CC, and it gets rid of what you want, and that is what you are going for, is it not?

I like Chastize, and Exile.

Both are instants:

Chastize is destroy target attacking creature and YOU gain life equal to its power for a cost of 3W.

Exile removes target nonwhite attacking creature from the game, and YOU gain life equal to its toughness for a cost of 2W.

Balance.

I've been using mostly arrest, pacifism, or repentence, but condemn looks pretty good.

The question is difficult to answer without context.  If you're looking to remove combat threats then Condemn is exactly what you want.  You mentioned Arrest, however, which is quite a good card.  It not only removes combat threats, but it also deactivates creatures with abilities that are causing your grief, which is something that white has trouble doing without Swords to Plowshares.

I'm a big fan of Wing Shards vs. stupid opponents.
