Helvault and Bouncing?
Asked by S3L3KA 13 years ago
Hello all,
I use a card like Act of Treason to take control of an opponent's creature, exile it with Helvault, and then use Disperse to return the Helvault to my hand.
My question is, if I bring Helvault out again and it gets destroyed, does it still remember all of the creatures it exiled the first time it was on the battlefield?; or are those creatures exiled permanently?
Thanks much!
Excellent. Then my Grand Architect/Helvault ramp deck idea just got some juice. Thanks. :)

rckclimber777 is correct. This rule is true for all permanents; whenever something leaves the field and comes back, it is treated as a completely new permanent.

Once a card leaves play it loses all memory of what it had done in play and for all intents and purposes it is considered a new permanent. So in this case, if you bounce helavault to your hand, then all cards that were exiled by it are gone for ever.
