"Path to Exile" is an instant card in Magic: The Gathering that offers targeted creature removal while providing the opponent with a small benefit. Here's what the card does:

When you cast "Path to Exile," you target a creature that you want to remove from the battlefield. That targeted creature is then exiled, meaning it is removed from the game entirely. However, as a downside for your opponent, they get to search their library for a basic land card (a land card without any special abilities) and put it onto the battlefield tapped. This allows them to potentially fix their mana and continue playing the game, but it also prevents them from using the exiled creature in the future.

The artwork by Todd Lockwood captures the essence of the spell, depicting a figure walking along a mystical path towards an unknown destination.
