Can Karn get back a wormcoil that's been exiled?

Depends on the Karn.

4 mana, yes if it was exiled with a silver counter.

5 mana, yes.

7 mana, yes if it was exiled by either ability. If it was exiled by a path, no.

Soulfire gives the spell lifelink. Once Command resolves and everything comes back the spell is longer on the stack so you can't gain any life from it. If you want to get all the things back you have to have Soulfire in play already or something else to mitigate the damage.

BFZ was during my break. What was so bad about it that he considers it worse than the "fun" set with a mechanic that encouraged everyone to play in silence?

In the actual set Battle for Zendikar green was pretty much undraftable. It got better once the second set came out but still wasnt great.


I know it was a bad format, but I drafted the hell out of BFZ and forced devoid most of the time and did really well.
