If I have a way to repeatedly blink Jester's Scepter, do all the exiled cards net?
Asked by TwerkForSubway 9 years ago
Jester's Scepter could definitely play a pretty decent role in this casual deck I'm working on. Just for the lulz, if I can manage to blink it in over and over, will I net a bunch of cards to use the ability on, or will the cards just be exiled each time it leaves the battlefield?

While it isn't what you were asking, you can do something like it by copying the triggered ability with Strionic Resonator. That would cause its triggered ability to function twice, and have twice the number of cards in question be exiled than normal.
It works with other similar stuff like Elite Arcanist but gets more complicated in those cases. Thought I'd mention it if you didn't know.

@ Epochalyptik, thanks for the head's up. New to the forum, so I'll keep it in mind.
@ nobu_the_bard That's actually such a sweet theme! I've never heard of Strionic Resonator or Elite Arcanist. Are there any other cards that you know of that'd go well with said cards?

Strionic Resonator is unique; the closest similar cards that I know of copy activated abilities, which is quite different. There's quite a few cards like Elite Arcanist though; stuff with Imprint such as Isochron Scepter or Duplicant. You might do better asking on the forums for suggestions.

Whenever a card uses its own name without saying something else like "a card named NN" then it means "this object, right here". This is important because a card becomes a new object when it changes zones, with no connection to whatever it was before (minus a few exceptions that don't apply here).
After blinking Jester's Scepter, the "new" Scepter is a different object from the one previously on the battlefield. You'll still be allowed to look at the cards exiled with the "old" Scepter but you can't use them for the "new" Scepter's ability.
