Eldrazi Displacer and Startled Awake Flip
Asked by DrLitebur 9 years ago
Here is an odd question. If I use Eldrazi Displacer to blink Persistent Nightmare Flip, the flipped version of Startled Awake Flip, what happens? Do I get a free recasting of the spell? Or does it just go to the graveyard? Or does it remain on the battlefield tapped? I know what I am hoping happens, but I suspect I know.

That's incorrect.
When a card changes zones, it reverts to its default state and is treated as a new object. Exiling Persistent Nightmare Flip causes it to revert to Startled Awake Flip. Because Startled Awake Flip is a sorcery, it can't enter the battlefield and will remain in exile. Nothing suggests that you would be able to cast it.

That's what I was afraid of. That makes it not as good as I was hoping, but I will be able to work with it otherwise. Thank you Epochalyptik. Just means Eldrazi Displacer won't be blinking my nightmare.

it returns to the battle field as Persistent Nightmare Flip because Eldrazi Displacer checks what Persistent Nightmare Flip was before it was exiled.
