Escape Protocol

• WWizards of the Coast2020-04-17
  Official Ruling
  When the card returns to the battlefield, it will be a new object with no connection to the card that was exiled. Auras attached to the exiled permanent will be put into their owners’ graveyards. Any Equipment will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled permanent will cease to exist.

  Official Ruling
  While resolving Escape Protocol’s triggered ability, you can’t pay multiple times to exile multiple permanents you control.

  Official Ruling
  Escape Protocol’s triggered ability goes on the stack without a target. While that ability is resolving, you may pay . If you do, a second ability triggers and you pick a target artifact or creature you control. This is different from abilities that say “If you do . . .” in that players may cast spells and activate abilities after mana is paid but before the target changes zones.

  Official Ruling
  Some cards with cycling have an ability that triggers when you cycle them, and some cards have an ability that triggers whenever you cycle any card. These triggered abilities resolve before you draw from the cycling ability.
• WWizards of the Coast2020-04-17
  Official Ruling
  You can cycle a card even if it has a triggered ability from cycling that won’t have a legal target. This is because the cycling ability and the triggered ability are separate. This also means that if either ability is countered (with Disallow, for example), the other ability will still resolve.
• WWizards of the Coast2020-04-17
  Official Ruling
  Triggered abilities from cycling a card and the cycling ability itself aren’t spells. Effects that interact with spells (such as that of Cancel) won’t affect them.

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