Title: Helm ban
Post by: Double-O-Scotch on October 19, 2012, 09:46:42 AM
Still don't understand why helm of obedience isn't banned. With abilities that exile cards instead of them going to the graveyard and milling your opponent to death turn 4, seems kind of dumb. Like, steal your iPad dumb. I vote ban. With Necropotence.

The ruling on the helm says the cards has to be put into the graveyard. RIP etc says Instead exile it.
No cards are put into the grave and helm keeps seing that no cards end up in the graveyard. The limit 1 is never reached.

Yeah the rulings mentions  {Leyline of the Void} will do the same thing.
