Glimmerpoint Stag

Vigilance

When Glimmerpoint Stag enters the battlefield, exile another target permanent. Return that card to the battlefield under its owner's control at the beginning of the next end step.

• 1/1/2011: If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and will not return to the battlefield.
• 1/1/2011: If the exiled card is an Aura, that card's owner chooses what it will enchant as it comes back onto the battlefield. An Aura put onto the battlefield this way doesn't target anything (so it could be attached to a permanent with shroud, for example), but the Aura's enchant ability restricts what it can be attached to. If the Aura can't legally be attached to anything, it remains exiled.
• 1/1/2011: The exiled card will be returned to the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step even if Glimmerpoint Stag is no longer on the battlefield at that time.
• 1/1/2011: If Glimmerpoint Stag somehow enters the battlefield during a turn's end step, the exiled card won't be returned to the battlefield until the beginning of the following turn's end step.
