This format doesnt seem to have anything except for maybe sigarda?!
There are cards such as Bonds of Mortality and Transgress the Mind, etc. Its possible.

Oops, scratch Bonds, its creatures only.
@zephramtripp Hedron has Hexproof.

You can target your own hexproof stuff, which looks like that's the only option since all the useful Delve stuff rotated out.
Angelic Purge, Fate Forgotten, Nahiri, the Harbinger, World Breaker. Obviously not practical options.

I like Angelic Purge the most so far, because with three Hedron Alignment on the battlefield and one in your hand, Angelic Purge can simultaneously put one in your exile and in your graveyard.

Oh that's right, its Shroud that makes things completely untargetable right?

Yes shroud is what makes things completely untargetable.
Besides Declaration in Stone, Angelic Purge is also the only thing that would work for exiling your own. Silkwrap, Stasis Snare, and Quarantine Field all say "an opponent controls".
Bring to Light and then not casting it works. With the scry effect you can ensure that there is one top deck and use red pseudo draw (Abbot of Keral Keep, Commune with Lava, and the like) and then not cast. Inverter of Truth, with exactly one Hedron Alignment left in your library. Spell Shrivel or Void Shatter your own spell. Transgress the Mind yourself. Erase, Fate Forgotten, Scour from Existence, Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, and World Breaker all do it without any other trickery necessary.

Oops sorry Ugin isn't in standard anymore. MagicCards.info apparently does legality by sets and although I was careful to not mention any delve cards (the most obvious way to do it until a little while ago) I didn't think about Ugin until after I posted.

Erase too. Damn I really need to double check stuff since I can't edit posts.

Yeah and you can target your own things with hexproof so...

I think I like the World Breaker option the most. Because at least you have something in your deck that can be used as a backup plan and just straight up beat down. I'd say go Sultai, so you can use Dark Petition to search it up and use some removal sweepers to stay alive, then use World Breaker to wreck face and Exile your Alignment, and of course blue for draw, bounce effects, and Alignment

You cound Void Shatter you own card when you cast it. Expensive i know but it is a possibility.

Fate Forgotten does it faster than most other cards listed. Spell Shrivel also works too and is easier to cast than Void Shatter

You could Angelic Purge it. Or animate it with Starfield of Nyx, and then Declaration in Stone, Silkwrap, or Stasis Snare it. Also, Quarantine Field. Only your own though, which I assume is what you want.
