Official rulings
Three official rulings apply to The Locust God, newest first.
- The “next end step” refers to the next end step that occurs, not the end step of the next turn. If this creature dies before a turn's end step (for example, during combat), it will be returned to its owner's hand at the beginning of that turn's end step.
- If a spell or ability causes you to put cards into your hand without specifically using the word “draw,” The Locust God's first triggered ability won't trigger.
- If this creature dies but leaves your graveyard before the next end step, it will remain in its new zone.
