Intet, the Dreamer Leaving the Battlefield

Asked by scotchtapedsleeves 5 years ago

If Intet, the Dreamer leaves the battlefield and goes back to the command zone, lets say, then if I cast them again can I cast a card that I have exiled previously from their ability?

Unfortunately, if Intet leaves play, any cards you've exiled with her will be uncastable even if you replay her. (That said, they will still have the rider that you can look at them at any time.) But you can exile new cards and play those, so long as she doesn't leave play again (thus starting yet another new pile of playable cards.) As much can be seen on her official rulings page: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=124073

Rule 400.7 elucidates this with "An object that moves from one zone to another becomes a new object with no memory of, or relation to, its previous existence. " This is why if you Flicker a creature, it won't have any damage when it comes back, and any spells that were exclusively targeting it are now targeting nothing, even though it came right back. It's like it's a whole new card that never existed before. Hence, if Intet leaves, she has no idea what those exiled cards are about from last time she was in play.
