Conjurer's Closet

with cards like {Conjurer's Closet} How exactly do they work? Do you take the card from your graveyard? My friend and I are both stumped on this one

So when the closet is out, you can choose any creature you control (NOT one in your graveyard) and exile it. To exile something means to "remove from the game". Then, at your end step (the step you take when you end your turn), the creature is put out of exile and back onto the battlefield.

Does that clear things up?

Creatures are only creatures on the battlefield. Everywhere else they are cards with the specification of being a creature card. You do not "control" cards not in play, you "own" cards.

So this effect is asking you to pick a creature you control at the beginning of your end step (when you say you are done casting sorceries and doing other main phase stuffs) then you pass priority giving your opponent a chance to do something about or before the closet finishes it's thing. If they have no response or finish what they are gunna do and your origionally target creature is still there and hasnt left at any point since you chose it then remove it from play and put it back in play as a brand new object. Creatures like {thragtusk} love this because it triggers it's leave the field and it's enter the field effects.

What's happens to a token that is exiled does it come back and a creature with x in its casting cost {primordial hydra} would it die

Whenever a token changes zones, it is removed from the game as a state-based action. It would not come back.

Whenever a nontoken creature changes zones, it is a new object with no memory of its former self. So a creature with toughness x will come back as a 0/0 and will die as a state-based action when it enters the battlefield.

The token will cease to exist shortly after being exiled, and counters will be removed from the creature as well, so cases like the hydra will die.

CV beat me to it

Wouldn't {Cryptborn Horror} work with {Conjurer's Closet}?

Yes. If you damage your opponent before he enters then he enters with +1/+1 counters.

Works great with any creature that has Enter the Battlefield or Leave the Battlefield triggers.
