Played in the local prerelease and ended up going 1-2 with a black-white deck. My synergy came from Jadar, Dreadhound, the black adversary, and then some of the white creatures that care about creatures ETB or leaving the field. Also Adeline.

It was okay, but I didn’t have a ton of removal in my packs and I tended to get steamrolled but any opponent that ran any kinds of werewolves. Turns out playing cheap creatures and then having them transform into big beasts is pretty powerful.

my prerelease kit had foil moonveil regent and the big demon; two mythics nice; shop got us set boosters as a bonus, opened a black commander rare in it
most people at the event ran Rx piles, turning creatures sideways works, who knew
tracking day/night in paper was easier than I thought

I kept loving up and letting day turn to night while fighting werewolves. You’d think I’d have learned my lesson after the first time, but no.

The Celestus is a great pickup no matter what you're doing in MIH draft, because it either enables your wolves or shuts off your opponent's

Yeah, I had one in my sealed prerelease packet and just totally ignored it since my deck barely interacted with the day/night cycle.

They kind of have that for death triggers. Isn't 'death' just 'a creature is destroyed and is moved to the graveyard'? It more or less works because of people's understanding of the relationship between living things, death, and graveyards. But despite the mechanics of the game working the same way other permanents can't die. Artifacts and enchantments aren't living things and planeswalkers just gtfo. So it's easy to understand what dies means in the context of the rules, I think.

I think why they don't keyword ETB is that there is a benefit to bluntly state the rules and context for such a common and simple trigger. Does etb go back to alpha? If it does it's probably a hold over from that. They also recently keyworded mill so it could be just a matter of time too.

I looked it up because I did not remember ETB being a thing back in the olden days.

Sure enough, it was first introduced in Portal, then added to main-set Magic in Visions, and fully replaced the phrase “comes into play” in Magic 2010.

E: beaten badly lol

Yeah, there are cards that strip all abilities from creatures, but is this one of those weird cases where a specific ability is removed that has never specifically been targeted before? Seems possible.

Since it gives your creatures that ability until the end of turn, does that mean after the turn you can’t play the exiled cards anymore?

The whole quoted text is the ability, so yeah when your creatures lose that, you lose your vector for playing them, so the cards just stay in exile forever (I’m pretty sure).
