Deputy of Detention rulings

  • Unless a token is a copy of another permanent or was explicitly given a name by the effect that created it, its name is the subtypes it was given when it was created plus the word "Token." For example, if an effect creates a 1/1 Soldier creature token, that token is named "Soldier Token."

  • If the target nonland permanent is an illegal target by the time this ability tries to resolve, the ability doesn't resolve. Nothing is exiled.

  • If Deputy of Detention leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability resolves, nothing is exiled.

  • This ability has only one target. The other permanents with that name aren't targeted. For example, a permanent with hexproof will be exiled if it has the same name as the target nonland permanent.

  • If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield.

  • A face-down creature has no name, so it can't share a name with anything. This includes other creatures with no name.

  • Auras attached to the exiled permanents will be put into their owners' graveyards. Any Equipment will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled permanents will cease to exist.
