Whip of Erebos and Worldgorger Dragon

Asked by Quickspell 1 year ago

When I reanimate a creature, say Red Dragon, with Whip of Erebos and afterwards have Worldgorger Dragon ETB, can I choose to exile Red Dragon with Worldgorger instead of with the Whip? Or does the Whip replace the exiling ability of Worldgorger?

Ruling on Whip of Erebos

If a creature returned to the battlefield with Whip of Erebos would leave the battlefield for any reason, it's exiled instead. However, if that creature is already being exiled, then the replacement effect won't apply. If the spell or ability that exiles it later returns it to the battlefield (as Chained to the Rocks might, for example), the creature card will return to the battlefield as a new object with no relation to its previous existence. The effects from Whip of Erebos will no longer apply to it. (2013-09-15)

Since it's being exiled by Worldgorger, Whips replacement effect won't apply, thus if Worldgorger leaves Red Dragon will reenter.

Thank you Delphen7! I should have looked on Gatherer first before asking! Apologies and thank you for quickly replying!
