Rulings

  • 2020-04-17
    Whether you control a Human is checked only after exiling the target creature. If that creature had exiled a Human you controlled until that creature left the battlefield, that Human will return to the battlefield in time to be counted.

    Use the exiled creature’s toughness as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how much life you lose.
