Modern magic is wacky sometimes, because exile means “gone for good,” except for dozens of exceptions in odd and wacky places. There are entire commander decks built on doing fucky things with cards that are “forever lost.”
This seems to be the case for most effects in MTG these days. They all mean what they say, except….

That’s kind of been the standard for the history of the game though. One of the first things I teach a new player is that every rule is followed by a footnote that reads “unless a card says otherwise.” Exile has always been the “don’t touch me til you do the thing” area.

its all counters, and fast plays. i seen some recent cards on and off, alot of them seems to play on “exile x amount of cards you can play this without paying its cost”
