Flicker + Mangara of Corondor

Asked by speedchicken29 6 years ago

If I tap a Mangara of Corondor but I Flicker it in response to that do I still get my Mangara of Corondor back while exiling target creature?

Thanks :)

Im not sure how to edit this but pretend flicker is an instant.The card I am really using is Roon of the Hidden Realm which will flicker the mangara.

If someone could also include how to edit my posts that would be great lol

Yes

From gatherer:
If Mangara of Corondor leaves the battlefield before the ability resolves, the targeted permanent will still be exiled.

The important thing to note here is that Mangara of Corondor exiles itself as part of the ability resolution, not as part of the cost.

Flickering it in response will cause it to leave the battlefield and then re-enter as a new instance of itself.

Then when the ability goes to resolve, it won't see mangara as the original instance of the card has changed zones. The ability will resolve as much as possible, in this case exiling the creature targeted by mangara. So that's the long answer. Short answer, as mentioned, yes.

Yes you get Mangara of Corondor back, Phil Gallagher, a competitive Death & Taxes player does a good jib of explaining it on his site linked below.
