Flip Cards removed from the game

Asked by ShivanForce 4 years ago

If Faithful Squire is in play, and let's say it gets two ki counters so it gets flipped at end of turn into Kaiso, Memory of Loyalty . If I cast Otherworldly Journey on Kaiso, when it comes back into play at end of turn is it Faithful Squire or is it Kaiso with zero ki counters?

Kogarashi says... Accepted answer #1

When Kaiso, Memory of Loyalty is exiled by Otherworldly Journey , it "forgets" its flipped status and returns to being Faithful Squire while in exile, and it is Faithful Squire that returns to the battlefield.

  • 709.2. In every zone other than the battlefield, and also on the battlefield before the permanent flips, a flip card has only the normal characteristics of the card. Once a permanent is flipped, its normal name, text box, type line, power, and toughness don’t apply and the alternative versions of those characteristics apply instead.

  • 709.4. Flipping a permanent is a one-way process. Once a permanent is flipped, it’s impossible for it to become unflipped. However, if a flipped permanent leaves the battlefield, it retains no memory of its status. See rule 110.5.
