Supernatural Stamina and Magma Spray
Asked by Argy 6 years ago
I have Neheb, the Worthy on the field.
My Opponent casts Magma Spray, targetting it.
Can I save Neheb, the Worthy with Supernatural Stamina?
It feels like I can because it is exiled only once it died, but as soon as it dies it is returned to the field.

No. Magma Spray doesn't exile it once it dies, rather it states "If that creature would die this turn, exile it instead." Because Supernatural Stamina requires the creature to die to trigger, and the creature does something instead of dying, it will never trigger. Also, Supernatural Stamina creates a delayed triggered ability, which means if the creature dies, the ability triggers and is put on the stack, so it could be responded to. Your opponent for instance exile Watchers of the Dead, and the creature would have to be chosen as one of the two cards you'd want to keep. Once the stack finishes resolving, you'd only have one card left in your graveyard, unless you were willing to exile the creature waiting to return.
