Manifest interaction with bounce spells?
Asked by alexthegreat38 10 years ago
Hey everyone,
I have a rules question. Say I'm playing Write into Being in a Roon of the Hidden Realm EDH deck. What happens if I use Roon's ability to bounce a manifest (or morph for that matter)? Does it come back in face-up, even if it's not a creature? If I manifested a land, will it just hit the field and be a land? If I manifested a non-permanent card, does it get cast, or does it remain a 2/2 creature? Please help me out here.
Thank you in advance!

Manifested cards are not tokens.
The ability states that the card is returned to the battlefield. If the card is a permanent card, it's put into the battlefield. If it's not, it remains in exile. Remember that when a card is put onto the battlefield, it enters in its default state (face up, unflipped, untapped, etc.) unless otherwise specified.

Also, rules questions should be asked in the Q&A, which is linked in the header. I can't convert this thread to a Q&A question, so I'm moving it to BE.

Okay, thank you. So if it's a permanent, it comes back face-up, but if it's a non-permanent spell, it just never even comes back from exile?

Yeah, Epochalyptik, I realized that after posting it -- figured the "Q&A" thing would be listed in the forums, didn't realize it was on a separate tab until after posting. Sorry about that.

I'm pretty sure manifested creatures that get bounced would die as they were tokens.
