Since my conclusion is the same, but the path taken, different, I shall revise this answer accordingly.Įxile target nontoken permanent, then return it to the battlefield under its owner's control.
The Shards of Alara FAQ and Wizards Community Wiki makes the point that exile effects still happen, even to a creature "unearthed". If it meant "anywhere other than the battlefield" then "exile it instead" would have sufficed. I've thought about it, and I've come around to the other point of view.
Does the "anywhere else" refer to "anywhere other than the battlefield" or "anywhere other than the exile zone"? To me, there is some ambiguity in the english here. Unearth sets up a replacement event: "If it would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else." Yes, Flicker will allow the creature to return to the battlefield, and it won't be exiled at the beginning of the next end step. Note: I'll edit this and quote the rule to support that replacement effects don't do anything by themselves when I get home, right now I can't access the rules (I couldn't find a rule talking specifically about this, but there is an official ruling here that talks about the same thing) It just knows that there is a card in exile that is going to be put on the battlefield. Flicker finds the card because it doesn't need to know that it was the same card that was on the battlefield. Rule 400.7g doesn't actually apply here, because it refers to cards that changed zones while the card/ability was being played/activated. It's still flicker who is exiling the card even if we could apply unearth replacement effect, therefore it can track the card because of rule 400.7g. Replacement effects modify other actions, they don't do anything by themselves. Obviously flicker won't lose track of the creature and will return it to the battlefield just fine.īut even if the unearth replacement effect could apply, the creature would still return. Therefore unearth replacement effect doesn't apply here. So chances are, even if your child’s staring spells do turn out to be absence seizures, she is likely to leave them behind with no lasting problems."If it would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else." means that if the creature would leave the battlefield for some zone other than exile (because exile doesn't fit the condition of "anywhere else"), it's exiled instead. Stafstrom notes that many children outgrow absence seizures on their own. Keep an eye out for more “spells” when your child is tired or stressed. A healthy diet and regular exercise are very important for brain health as well. It is especially important for the child to get plenty of sleep. Lifestyle changes can help reduce the frequency of seizures. “Ethosuximide is a drug that is used specifically for absence seizures, and it works well.” Lifestyle Changes Can Help “Absence seizures are very mild, yet they warrant treatment for the child’s safety and to support academic achievement,” Stafstrom says. If this (painless) test shows an irregularity, the neurologist may recommend treatment, which usually consists of anti-seizure medicine. The pediatric neurologist can administer an EEG to test electrical activity in the child’s brain. He says, “If, during a staring spell, your child does not respond when you snap your fingers or call her name, it may be appropriate to see your pediatrician, who can evaluate the child and refer to a pediatric neurologist.” So how do you tell the difference between normal zoning out or daydreaming, and this subtle form of epilepsy? It’s not easy: Absence seizures are hard to detect, and many children have them for years without anyone noticing.Ĭarl Stafstrom, M.D., is the Lederer Endowed Chair of Pediatric Epilepsy at Johns Hopkins. Absence Seizures: What Parents Should Know Then, about 15 seconds later, as suddenly as it came on, the seizure is over and she’s back to normal.Ībsence seizures are not dangerous, but frequent recurrences can affect your child’s ability to learn and concentrate.
Her eyelids may flutter, and she may not respond to others speaking to her. She may stay still during the event, or make chewing or smacking noises with her mouth. They are caused by a temporary spark of abnormal electrical activity in the brain.ĭuring the seizure, the child will stop what she’s doing and stare ahead. Once known as petit-mal (“little sickness”) seizures, absence seizures most commonly affect children between ages 4 and 14, but older kids and even adults can occasionally have them. Though most staring spells are perfectly normal, sometimes they can signal an absence seizure. No wonder some kids “space out” and stare into space from time to time. Your child’s mind is such a busy place with everything she’s learning every day, and her imagination is growing as fast as she is.
