When a card comes back from Exhile, is it tapped or untaped?
Asked by AzureOctive 11 years ago
I'm trying to understand the advantage of conjurer's closet in the evasive manuvers deck... would it lose any counters on it? if it's enchanted, do the enchantments slide off?

The permanent returns as though you had just put it onto the battlefield. It loses all counters, auras, and equipment that it had before, and it enters in its default state (untapped unless specified otherwise, face up, etc.).

Spiffy! that answers a lot, thanks!
Follow up extra credit question, does Phasing work the same way? if so, what is the point of Cloak of Invisibility being an enchantment?

The way phasing currently works (it wasn't always this way) doesn't involve a zone-change. Phased out permanents remain on the battlefield, but the game can't see them and they can't see the game. Counters don't get wiped from a phased out permanent, and if anything is attached to a permanent as it phases out (auras or equipment), those also phase out at the same time. They'll phase back in when the thing they're attached to phases in. Cloak of Invisibility phases in and out with the creature it's attached to.

Awesome! That cleans up all my in play / out of play questions I've had on my mind for a while now _
Cheers!

Things enter the battlefield untapped unless they state otherwise. Any counters on it would be removed, and any counters that it would enter with, it will re-enter with. Any Auras attached to it will be removed and get sent to the graveyard as a State-Based Action.
