I recently posted what I thought was a bug that was labeled not bug and I'd like to get some feedback on my understanding of how it should work.
The line of text in question is:
"If a black or red permanent, spell, or card not on the battlefield would be put into a graveyard, exile it instead."
I had a black creature on the battlefield that I sacrificed, and it was exiled.
As I understand it there is no transition phase if a creature dies of damage, is destroyed, or is sacrificed between the battlefield and the graveyard.
My understanding is that if a black or red card goes from the battlefield to the graveyard, it should not be exiled. They took the time to specify the battlefield condition so I would image this is an exception. If not, why word it this way when there historical terminology?
Other cards that exile in all conditions state "from anywhere" in the text. Examples are
Dauthi Voidwalker: "If a card would be put into an opponent's graveyard from anywhere, instead exile it..." (note, same set release)
Leyline of the Void: "If a card would be put into an opponent's graveyard from anywhere, exile it instead"
Rest in Peace: "If a card or token would be put into graveyard from anywhere, exile it instead"
Am I missing something?
Are there other examples of this sort of wording that I'm missing?
I tried looking for Sanctifier en-Ven rulings on this, and didn't find any.
