If it would leave the battlefield, instead exile it and return Dread Shade to the battlefield."<br /><br />It requires knowing that the most-recent power is checked, but that's the intuitive use so I think it should grok? I know "exile until" is in vogue, but I often find it opaque in best case scenarios, much less in corner uses.Pasteurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02058331124653341978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-28603578281508913602018-08-30T21:37:32.044-04:002018-08-30T21:37:32.044-04:00The exiling clause is a bit wordy.

I wonder if it might still convey the same idea if Dread Shade simply stayed tapped until that creature left the battlefield (or something similar to Old Man of the Sea and similar effects).Sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02090253014943762842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-61425401589130871622018-08-30T21:21:54.416-04:002018-08-30T21:21:54.416-04:00I love the idea, but if there any way to word this...I love the idea, but if there any way to word this so it feels closer to an oblivion effect?
