IMPORTANT flicker question

[Maximo]

About to start my prerelease need to know, does using {cloudshift} on a creature targeted by a kill spell fizzle the spell?

[Greg54js]

I'm going to say no because cloudshift resolves first putting the creature back on the battlefield and then the kill spell resolves targeting it.

Edit: if it said return the permanent at the beginning of the next end step, the kill spell would fizzle

[Poof]

As has been stated in a few recent topics on here once an object changes zones it's a brand new object the the spell that was targeting it has no memory of it and will fizzle

[BlackJester]

It will fizzle (not resolve for lack of a legal target).

If a permanent changes zones and returns, it is considered a new object.  Even if it happened within the same spell.

Also, any spells that have that "flickered" permanent as the only target will be countered.
