Official rulings
Four official rulings apply to Dream-Thief's Bandana, newest first.
- You may look at and play cards exiled face down with Dream-Thief's Bandana's first ability (and spend mana of any type to do so) even if Dream-Thief's Bandana and/or the equipped creature leaves the battlefield. If another player gains control of Dream-Thief's Bandana and/or the equipped creature, that player can't look at or play cards already exiled with Dream-Thief's Bandana, and you still can.
- Playing an exiled card causes it to leave exile. You can't play it multiple times.
- You pay all costs and follow all normal timing rules for cards played from exile with Dream-Thief's Bandana's first ability. For example, if the exiled card is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty.
- If you leave the game, any remaining face-down exiled cards remain exiled face down indefinitely. No player may look at them.
