Sedris + Navigator
Asked by DarkMagician 8 years ago
If I Unearth a creature using Sedris, the Traitor King then flicker it using Deadeye Navigator will it return to play indefinitely. I'm pretty sure it does but just wanted to double check.

The important thing to note in this scenario is that exiling the unearthed creature technically gets around unearth's replacement effect.
Normally, if an unearthed creature would leave the battlefield, it's exiled instead. This replacement effect does not apply if the creature is already going to exile. Therefore, you can blink the unearthed creature and return it to the battlefield without the replacement effect interfering. Because the creature becomes a new object when it changes zones, the creature you return to the battlefield will no longer be tied to the unearth ability.

Yes it will. You'll get to keep the unearthed creature.
Whenever an object changes zones, even for just an instance like flickering, it loses all memory of its previous existence. Including the fact it was unearthed. It'll reenter as a new entity and be good to go.
