Rulings
- WotCFeb 1, 2007
If a token copy of Flickering Spirit uses its activated ability, the token will not return to the battlefield, because of the rule that says tokens that leave the battlefield can't return.
- WotCSep 25, 2006
If Flickering Spirit's ability is activated, any "as this enters" choices for it are made by its owner, not its previous controller.
- WotCSep 25, 2006
When the ability resolves, Flickering Spirit is exiled, then immediately returned to the battlefield. It returns as a "new" creature. Any counters, Auras, and so on are removed. Any spells or abilities targeting Flickering Spirit no longer target it.
