Using Cloudshift on Mikaeus, the Lunarch.

Asked by acbooster 12 years ago

This came to mind when I was browsing decks with blinking cards on the mind. Since Mikaeus, the Lunarch enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on him equal to the X paid to summon him, what would happen if you used Cloudshift or some other blinking card to exile him and bring him back? Would he come back with 0 counters and be sent to the graveyard?

He would come back with 0 counters, since he'd be a new permanent with no recollection or memory of his past existence on the battlefield. This is true for Primordial Hydra as well, and why Oblivion Ring and Detention Sphere are awesome for targeting them
