when can you play cards exiled with Neyali, Suns' Vanguard?
Asked by YStar27 2 weeks ago
when can you play cards exiled with Neyali, Suns' Vanguard? can you cast them even if neyali leaves the battlefield? what about if it leaves and returns? i find the card's wording unclear as some cards have a seperate line of text telling you you can play them and others say for as long as it remains exiled?
thanks

In this case, the ability to cast them is tied to the cards themselves, not Neyali. From her rulings:
- The effect allowing you to cast the exiled card if you attacked with a token continues to apply even if Neyali leaves the battlefield or another player gains control of it. It also continues to apply during later turns—as long as you attacked with a token during those later turns.
Compare Hedonist's Trove to Gonti, Lord of Luxury. The enchantment exiles cards and then has a second linked, but separate, ability to cast them. Blinking the Trove would "empty" it and you would lose access to the cards. Gonti, like Nyali, exiles the cards and then gives the cards the innate ability to be cast. So long as you meet the requirement of attacking with a token, and are within timing restrictions, you can cast the card.

SteelSentry has the correct answer. The effect that allows you to cast the spell later is created by the resolution of Neyali's triggered ability. It's not tied to a static ability of Neyali, so Neyali doesn't have to remain on the battlefield for the effect to continue existing.

Guess I should have checked the Gatherer, it’s right on there.

The ability originates from the onject in question so if your Commander, for example, leaves the battlefield and comes back, it is now a different object and any cards exiled with it prior to its return are no longer at your disposal. Otherwise normal timing restrictions apply.
