Rulings
- : If another effect causes one of the returned permanents to become a creature and sets its base power and toughness as it does so, that creature will have that power and toughness; it won't be 1/1. Notably, crewing a Vehicle does not set its power and toughness, so a Vehicle will remain a 1/1 if you crew it.
- : An Equipment that's also a creature can't be attached to anything. You can activate its equip ability, but it won't become attached.
- : If a double-faced card is exiled this way, it will return with its front face up, no matter which face was up when it left the battlefield.
- : The exiled card will return to the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step even if Abuelo, Ancestral Echo is no longer on the battlefield at that time.
- : If a token is exiled this way, it ceases to exist and won't return to the battlefield.
- : An artifact creature card or enchantment creature card returned this way will have base power and toughness 1/1.
