How does Temporary Lockdown effect a cloaked card under Cryptic Coat?
Asked by K4nkato 1 week ago
If Temporary Lockdown enters the battlefield, does it exile the Cloaked Creature?
If Temporary Lockdown leaves the battlefield & the Cloaked card is exiled, does it enter face up or face down?
Very unsure how this works, any clarification would be nice.
Oh, right. And they'll return face up after Temporary Lockdown leaves.

One additional note, Temporary Lockdown will return any permanent cards that were cloaked to the battlefield face up when it leaves. Any Instant or Sorcery cards you cloaked will remain in face up exile since they cannot be put onto the battlefield face up.
Yesterday says... Accepted answer #1
Cloaked creatures have a mana value of 0 while they are face down, so they will be exiled with Temporary Lockdown.
The default state of an exiled card is to be face up unless the effect that exiles the card says otherwise. So those cloaked creatures will be exiled face up for all to see.
When Temporary Lockdown leaves the battlefield, there is no additional check that the cards it has exiled are of a specific mana value. Everything it has exiled will return when it leaves, even if you had a cloaked Scornful Egotist under there.
