Siren's Ruse 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.
01
Official card text
Exile target creature you control, then return that card to the battlefield under its owner's control. If a Pirate was exiled this way, draw a card.
How it works : Siren's Ruse
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Once the exiled creature returns, it’s considered a new object with no relation to the object that it was. 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. Any counters on the exiled creature will cease to exist.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
The returned creature won’t be the target of any spells or abilities that targeted it before. Any spells that don’t target it, such as Star of Extinction, will still affect it.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won’t return to the battlefield.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
You’ll draw a card if the creature was a Pirate as it was exiled, even if it doesn’t return to the battlefield (most likely because it’s a token) or if it returns to the battlefield but isn’t a Pirate anymore (most likely because it’s copying something else).
No other card is named in this ruling.
