My opponent, knowing the mystery and danger of a face down creature, casts a Suspension Field and exiles my face down morph. My opponent breaths a sigh of relief, knowing that the threat has been dealt with. But little does he know, I hold an <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Erase&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Erase<\/a>! On my turn, I Erase his Field and&#8230; then what happens?<\/p>\n<p>When a face down creature leaves the battlefield, we reveal the card so everyone knows what it is. So when it&#8217;s exiled, it&#8217;s face up and everyone knows that it&#8217;s a Thousand Winds. And when the Field leaves the battlefield, we return that creature card to the battlefield. But it&#8217;s already been turned face up, and nothing is telling us to turn it back face down (and since we&#8217;re putting it on the battlefield without casting it, we can&#8217;t return it face down). So Thousand Winds will return to the battlefield face up, and now your opponent gets to deal with your early 5\/6 flyer.<\/p>\n<p>One final note for today: the Wind&#8217;s triggered ability that triggers when it&#8217;s turned face up will not trigger in this case. It has to be on the battlefield when it&#8217;s turned face up in order for its ability to trigger. When it&#8217;s in exile, it&#8217;s being revealed as it leaves the battlefield. It&#8217;s not on the battlefield at that point, so the Wind&#8217;s ability will not trigger.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Rules Tip written by Nathan Long<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back to another week here at the Rules Tips Blog.
