Banishing light and miscutter hydra and auras
Asked by Onyxio 9 years ago
What happens if Banishing Light is destroyed and a Mistcutter Hydra that was exiled re-enters the battlefield? Can its user retap mana to give it counters again? Also what happens to a Market Festival that was exiled, does it get put back on the same land it was exiled from or no?
Thanks for any help!

@Boza: Note that spells exist only on the stack. They are cards (assuming they aren't copies) in all other zones.

For the hydra, you can only pay the mana as part of its casting cost. The value for X on any spell in all zones other the stack is 0. The hydra will enter as a 0/0 and will die the next time state-based actions are checked.
For the market festival, upon reentry into the battlefield (banishing light really evokes the "rocket into space" feeling), you get choose a legal permanent (in this case a land) and just put it on it. Note that this does not target - auras target only when cast.
