    In the Trenches

    Illustrated by Daarken

    EDHREC Rank #9,530
    Creatures you control get +1/+1. 5 generic mana white mana : Exile target nonland permanent you don't control until this enchantment leaves the battlefield. Activate only as a sorcery and only once.

    The battlefield became so pockmarked with craters and trenches that casualties were regularly attributed to "fell in a hole."

    Auras attached to the exiled permanent will be put into their owners' graveyards. Equipment attached to an exiled creature will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled permanent will cease to exist.

    The activated ability is a single ability that creates two one-shot effects: one that exiles the permanent when the ability resolves, and another that returns the exiled card to the battlefield immediately after In the Trenches leaves the battlefield.

    If In the Trenches leaves the battlefield before its activated ability resolves, the target permanent won't be exiled.
