Rulings

Official rulings from Wizards of the Coast (6).

• 2018-01-19There are many important moments in the story, but the most crucial—called “story spotlights”—are shown on cards. These cards have the Planeswalker symbol in their text box; this symbol has no effect on gameplay. You can read more about these events in the official Magic fiction at http://www.mtgstory.com.
• 2017-02-09If Consulate Crackdown leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability resolves, no artifacts will be exiled.
• 2017-02-09Auras attached to the exiled artifacts will be put into their owners’ graveyards. Any counters on the exiled artifacts will cease to exist.
• 2017-02-09If an artifact token is exiled, it ceases to exist. It won’t be returned to the battlefield.
• 2017-02-09The exiled cards return to the battlefield immediately after Consulate Crackdown leaves the battlefield. Nothing happens between the two events, including state-based actions. If Consulate Crackdown exiles multiple artifacts, those cards all return to the battlefield at the same time.
• 2017-02-09In a multiplayer game, if Consulate Crackdown’s owner leaves the game, the exiled cards will return to the battlefield. Because the one-shot effect that returns the cards isn’t an ability that goes on the stack, it won’t cease to exist along with the leaving player’s spells and abilities on the stack.
