What happens if you target Azcanta, the Sunken Ruin Flip with Ixalan's Binding?
Asked by Argy 6 years ago
Does that prevent the owner of Azcanta, the Sunken Ruin from casting Search for Azcanta Flip?
While you've answered your own question, I was intrigued by the issue and did a quick look through the rules for my own edification. I figured I'd pass along my results on the off-chance you ever see a legal version of this interaction.
When a card like Lord of Lineage
is put in any zone other than the battlefield, it only has the characteristics of Bloodline Keeper
Flip (Rule 711.4a). It is still the same object, and still the card exiled with Ixalan's Binding, it just has a different name now than when exiled.
This means the "exiled card" would be named Bloodline Keeper
Flip and your opponents would be unable to cast spells with that name.

cdkime thanks for the input.
I guess the whole Exile and return to the battlefield interaction kind of makes sense.
When it comes back to the field it will return sunny side up. Therefore it is that side up in Exile.

Oops, my apologies.
Just noticed that you can't target the land side with Search for Azcanta Flip.
