    If Minion’s Return enchants a token creature, that creature won’t return to the battlefield when it dies. Choose your minions wisely.

  • 2020-01-24

    In a multiplayer game, if a player leaves the game, all cards that player owns leave as well. If you leave the game, the creature you control from Minion’s Return is exiled if you don’t own it.
