@alanwescoat Uh... Not sure how you're reading it, but maybe it will make more sense this way: "Exile a creature attacking you or exile a creature attacking a planeswalker you control." It does not, at any point, exile Planeswalkers.

@alanwescoat: It doesn't allow you to exile a planeswalker you control. To do that, the card would need to read either "Exile target creature that's attacking you or target planeswalker you control." or "Exile target creature that's attacking you or exile a planeswalker you control."

Seal of Exile. niiiice.
and by the way- exiling your own Planeswalker sounds like part of a suspiciously broken plan to me, if you have a way to bring them back. eventually, they are going to make a card (probably a rare) that returns from exile to somewhere. probably hand. it's already been proving that 'blinking' is really good on other cards. I foresee it becoming so good that they stop letting you blink with just one card, but don't want to make it impossible to do either, so instead of making blinkers they'll just make cards that exile themselves, along with a card that returns from exile. similar to idea to crazy things from Time Spiral, only depowered.
I know the card doesn't do that- but people seem to think that if it did, that would be bad or something. I think they're wrong.

I hate this card because I don't run it. Get away from my Emrakul guys, D:

I was never confused by this card. I guess common sense and flavor just lead me in the right direction.

The dirty secret is that you can activate this after combat damage during the combat phase as with Desert for the purposes of cards like Farsight Mask.

I would love to see this pop up in Standard. And then see it stick around for awhile.

@dhinge: If it exiled target attacking creature, it'd be able to exile something attacking a third player. This isn't meant to be political!

@dhinge Because there's this thing called "multiplayer".
