About Palace Jailer

Palace Jailer, Creature — human soldier, designed by David Palumbo first released in Aug, 2016 in the set Conspiracy: Take the Crown and was printed exactly in 7 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Duel Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.06.

This card, Palace Jailer, is a great addition to a white control deck that focuses on gaining and maintaining the monarch status to draw extra cards. It can be particularly effective in decks that have ways to protect the monarch status once obtained. While there may be other removal options available, Palace Jailer's ability to both exile a creature and potentially draw cards makes it a strong contender for inclusion in the right deck.

Rules

03/19/21

If a creature token is exiled, it ceases to exist. It won’t return to the battlefield.

03/19/21

If you’re not the monarch as Palace Jailer’s second ability resolves, the creature will be exiled until there’s a new monarch and that player is one of your opponents. The creature won’t immediately return just because an opponent is the monarch.

03/19/21

The game starts with no monarch. Once an effect makes one player the monarch, the game will have exactly one monarch from that point forward.

03/19/21

The opponent that controlled the exiled card doesn’t have to be the same opponent that becomes the monarch in order to cause that card to return to the battlefield. Any opponent becoming the monarch will cause the card to return.

08/23/16

Abilities that trigger whenever you “become the monarch” trigger only if you aren’t already the monarch. For example, if you are already the monarch as Custodi Lich enters the battlefield, its last ability won’t trigger.

08/23/16

Auras attached to the exiled creature will be put into their owners’ graveyards. Equipment attached to the exiled creature will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Counters on the exiled creature will cease to exist.

08/23/16

Palace Jailer leaving the battlefield won’t cause the exiled creature to return. The game will continue to watch for the next time an opponent becomes the monarch.

08/23/16

Palace Jailer’s two abilities can be put on the stack in either order. The last one to be put onto the stack will resolve first.

08/23/16
