Official rulings

Five official rulings apply to Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd, newest first.

  • If the permanent that returns to the battlefield has any abilities that trigger at the beginning of the end step, those abilities won't trigger that turn.
  • Phelia is a good dog.
  • Auras attached to the exiled permanent will be put into their owners' graveyards. Equipment attached to the exiled permanent will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled permanent will cease to exist. Once the exiled permanent returns, it's considered a new object with no relation to the object that it was.
  • If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield.
  • The exiled card will return to the battlefield at the beginning of the end step even if Phelia is no longer on the battlefield.
