About Escape Protocol

Escape Protocol, Enchantment, designed by Deruchenko Alexander first released in Apr, 2020 in the set Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.09.

Escape Protocol would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on cycling cards and has a strategy centered around recurring artifacts or creatures for value. While it provides a versatile way to protect key permanents, there are potentially more efficient options like Astral Drift or Astral Slide that offer similar effects with added benefits such as triggering enter-the-battlefield abilities or providing evasion. Whether Escape Protocol sees play would depend on the specific synergies and strategies of the deck, as well as the overall metagame.

Rules

04/17/20

Some cards with cycling have an ability that triggers when you cycle them, and some cards have an ability that triggers whenever you cycle any card. These triggered abilities resolve before you draw from the cycling ability.

04/17/20

When the card returns to the battlefield, it will be a new object with no connection to the card that was exiled. Auras attached to the exiled permanent will be put into their owners’ graveyards. Any Equipment will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled permanent will cease to exist.

04/17/20

While resolving Escape Protocol’s triggered ability, you can’t pay multiple times to exile multiple permanents you control.

04/17/20

You can cycle a card even if it has a triggered ability from cycling that won’t have a legal target. This is because the cycling ability and the triggered ability are separate. This also means that if either ability is countered (with Disallow, for example), the other ability will still resolve.
