Titan's Presence is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
As an additional cost to cast this spell, reveal a colorless creature card from your hand. Exile target creature if its power is less than or equal to the revealed card's power.
Complete guide
Titan's Presence is a unique removal spell that relies on the ancient, colorless power lurking in your hand. By revealing a massive Eldrazi or a simple artifact creature, you can exile a threat permanently from the battlefield. Because it checks the revealed card's power against the target's, timing and hand management are key to maximizing its potential.
Revealing the Source
As you cast Titan's Presence, you must reveal a colorless creature card from your hand as an additional cost. This card remains revealed until the spell finishes resolving or leaves the stack. The power of the revealed card determines the threshold of what you can exile; the target creature's power must be less than or equal to that number.
The Resolution Check
When Titan's Presence attempts to resolve, the game checks the current power of the target creature. If the target's power has increased beyond the revealed card's power due to a buff or pump spell, Titan's Presence will resolve but have no effect. Importantly, even if the revealed card somehow leaves your hand before resolution, the game uses its power as it last existed in your hand to perform the comparison.
Strategic Implementation
Since this spell is an instant, it is a fantastic tool for disrupting combat or responding to creature-based combos. However, you must always ensure the creature card in your hand is large enough to handle the target. If you reveal a small creature token generator or a utility unit, you might find yourself unable to target larger threats on the board.
Interaction examples
Warping WailIf you have a colorless creature card with power 2 in your hand, you can cast Titan's Presence to exile an Eldrazi Scion token created by Warping Wail. Since the Scion's power (1) is less than or equal to your revealed card's power (2), the Scion is exiled.
Kozilek's CommandSuppose your opponent casts Kozilek's Command to create three 0/1 Eldrazi Spawn. If you reveal a colorless creature with at least 0 power, you can cast Titan's Presence targeting one of those tokens. The spell successfully exiles the token because its 0 power satisfies the 'less than or equal to' requirement regardless of how small your revealed card is.
