Ruin Ghost is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
,
: Exile target land you control, then return it to the battlefield under your control.
How it works : Ruin Ghost
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
As Ruin Ghost's ability resolves, the targeted land is exiled, then immediately returned to the battlefield. The land that enters is a different permanent from the one that left. Any counters, Auras, and so on that were affecting the old land won't affect the new one. Any spells or abilities that were targeting the old land don't target the new one. Whether the old land was tapped or untapped has no bearing on the new one.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
The returned land behaves like any other land that's put onto the battlefield. If it has an ability that says it enters tapped, it does so. (Otherwise it enters untapped.) If it has an "enters" triggered ability, that ability triggers.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
The land returns under your control, regardless of who owns it.
No other card is named in this ruling.
