Rulings
2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2022-12-08
Whitemane Lion's ability doesn't target any creature, therefore no player may take actions between the time you choose the creature to return and the time you return it.
- 2022-12-08
You may return Whitemane Lion itself to its owner's hand as its triggered ability resolves. If you don't control any other creature, you must return it.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
