Posted: 15 Sep 2014, 06:21
Situation 1:
Misthollow Griffin is on the battlefield.
Step 1 - Oblivion Ring 1 is cast, Misthollow Griffin is targeted and exiled by the ring.
Step 2 - Misthollow Griffin is cast from exile.
Step 3 - Oblivion Ring 2 is cast, Misthollow Griffin is targeted and exiled by the ring.
Step 4 - Misthollow Griffin is cast from exile.
Scenario A)
Step 5 - Misthollow Griffin is exiled by another effect.
Step 6 - Oblivion Ring 1 leaves the battlefield.
Step 7 - Oblivion Ring 2 leaves the battlefield.
Misthollow Griffin returns...
- ...after step 6 since it is the card exiled with that ring?
- ...after step 7 since it is the card exiled with that ring and the latest Oblivion Ring to do so?
- ...not at all since it is not considered the same card anymore?
Scenario B)
Step 5 - The three permanents are exiled at the same time.
Does Misthollow Griffin return to the battlefield?
- Yes
- No, since it isn't in the exile zone when the rings leave the battlefield
- No, since it isn't considered the card exiled with the rings anymore
Situation 2:
Permanent 1 and Permanent 2, both non-lands, are on the battlefield. Oblivion Ring targets Permanent 1 (it is put on the stack but doesn't resolve) and leaves the battlefield. Then it returns to the battlefield before and targets Permanent 2. Now the stack resolves. What happens?
- Both cards are exiled and return when the ring leaves the battlefield.
- Both cards are exiled but only Permanent 2 returns when the ring leaves the battlefield.
