Rulings
3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2021-07-23
If a card is exiled face-down and no player has been given permission to look at it, no player is allowed to look at it as long as it remains exiled face-down.
- 2021-07-23
If your library is empty, no cards will be exiled but you won't lose the game due to drawing from an empty library.
- 2021-07-23
If Asmodeus the Archfiend leaves the battlefield before you activate its last ability, any cards exiled by its replacement effect remain exiled face down for the rest of the game. If you somehow return the same Asmodeus the Archfiend card to the battlefield, it will be a different object with no connection to those face-down cards.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
