So if we’re talking Magic just how does “Exile” compare to the old “Bury”?

Bury is/was putting the card in the graveyard, while exile removes it from play entirely. While a lot of stuff interacts with the graveyard there’s not anything that can interact with exiled cards

    More or less, though IIRC it's not technically outside of the game, just in a different zone, because I don't think that...

    Wasn't there something from the ante card days that could mess with that?
