Exile is important. If you were playing thought erasure, you're probably playing this instead.

Well... It's not Thoughtseize.
Think this will be as important in Standard as in original Theros? Thought Erasure forces you into Blue, is the difference enough?

Not needing two different colored mana is important too. I might play a split between this and erasure, because there are times the surveil is important.
That shadowy wisp at the edge of your vision, there and gone before you notice.

Should their hand be trash, that GY hate part is nice. I still have not coughed up for a Thoughtseize for EDH, so this card might do for a while.
Mirri, Cat Warrior counts as a Cat Warrior.
Exile is pretty relevant, as it can hit the titans on the front end if you fire it off fast enough and save yourself some hassle. It's not dead late game because I think every color has a decent escape card honestly. The 1 life isn't really a huge deal imho. There is a lot of lifegain floating around.
It's splashable, which is also a huge upside. Now decks can be XB or XXb and still run this in the side to deal with problematic things.
I don't think it's fatal push levels of silly, but the card does look like a workhorse (not a finisher, removal, ramp, dig spell but integral to making it past rounds 4-5 in standard).

Seems solid for standard - it's been a minute since we've had access to this effect under 3 CMC in monocolor without some sort of drawback (Lay Bare the Heart and Transgress the Mind have limited targets, Thought Erasure surveils but also requires two colors, Drill Bit is exceptionally strong when it works but highly deck, metagame, match-up, and draw dependent).
Exile and being able to hit the 'yard if nothing excites you in hand are also both big deals. If the format is slow enough, I expect this to be a workhorse in Standard and a hopeful in Pioneer (i.e. the two formats where this isn't competing with Thoughtseize).
