    Auras attached to the exiled creature 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. When the card returns to the battlefield, it will be a new object with no connection to the card that was exiled.

  • WotCNov 19, 2021

    If Circle of Confinement leaves the battlefield before its enters-the-battlefield ability resolves, the target creature won't be exiled.

  • WotCNov 19, 2021

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