Ruin Rat ability vs. Luminous Broodmoth
Asked by BigRed907 3 years ago
The situation I have Luminous Broodmoth and another 2/1 creature w/out flying on the field, my opponent has Ruin Rat, I attack with 2/1 creature and they block with Ruin rat, they both die, my creature comes back on the field with flying counter, but can ruin rats ability exile that creature before it comes back to the battlefield? Is my 2/1 creature in the graveyard before it comes back with Broodmoth?

It's exiled before it has a chance to come back. Both creatures die, and trigger their abilities at the same time. As it's you're turn, you're active player and put the Luminous Broodmoth ability on the stack, then your opponent puts the Ruin Rat's ability on the stack and chooses it's target. The stack resolves last in first out order, so their ability resolves first.
If instead your opponent attacked with Ruin Rat and you blocked with your 2/1, it would return before it could be exiled.
