Stealing cards and then dying

Asked by pedroedmarcos 4 years ago

Hey there,

So, a few weeks ago I was playing commander and my opponent played Gray Merchant of Asphodel and I responded to the ETB casting Reins of Power to reduce the my opponents devotion. Asphodel resolved, and after that I died. As soon as I died the question came up. When my opponents creatures returns to him? At the end of the turn as it says on Reins of Power or in the moment I died?

It happens at the moment you leave the game.

When a player leaves the game:

1. All objects they own leave the game
2. Any control-changing effects that are giving them control of things they don't own end immediately (this is the one that applies to your question)
3. If after step 2 they still control things they don't own (usually through something like Bribery or Rise from the Grave , etc.) then those objects get exiled
