"Find me cards equivalent to: Excavation Technique"

Equivalent cards to Excavation Technique in white that are also sorceries and destroy nonland permanents:
1. Generous Gift (Instant, but similar effect—destroys any permanent, replaces it with a 3/3 Elephant)
2. Vindicate (Sorcery—destroy target permanent, no replacement)
3. Council's Judgment (Sorcery—exiles nonland permanent via voting)


Reason: True white sorceries that destroy nonland permanents and follow the same template are rare; these are close in both effect and color, though some change the replacement token or exile instead. Excavation Technique is unique for its Demonstrate mechanic.

    Rules

  • Because the votes are cast in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.
  • Each player must vote for one of the candidate permanents. They can't abstain.
  • In the unusual case that no permanents have any votes, nothing is exiled.
  • No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.
  • None of the candidate permanents are targeted. Players may vote for a permanent with protection from white, for example.
  • Players can't do anything after they finishing voting but before the "winning" permanent or permanents are exiled.

    Demonstrate

    Rules

  • If the spell requires targets, you choose the target of the original spell as you cast it. If you create a copy of the spell, you may choose new targets for the copy as you create that copy. Similarly, the opponent you chose to create a copy may choose new targets for that copy as it’s created. In other words, your opponent will know the targets of your original spell and your copy when choosing the new targets, if any, for their copy.
  • If you cast the spell and choose not to copy it, no opponent will get to copy it either.
  • If you copy a spell with demonstrate, you then immediately choose an opponent. If they copy the spell, it goes on top of the stack.
  • This means that if you cast a spell with demonstrate and both you and an opponent copy it, the opponent’s copy will resolve first, then your copy will resolve, and finally the original spell will resolve.
  • You choose whether to make a copy as the demonstrate ability resolves. This happens before the original spell resolves. Your copy goes on the stack above the original spell.
