About Brain Maggot
Brain Maggot, Enchantment creature — insect, designed by Dave Kendall first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of ₱ 21.52.
A deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's hand and controlling the board would benefit from using Brain Maggot, as it provides hand disruption and temporary removal of a key nonland card. However, Thoughtseize is a better alternative due to its ability to target any card in the opponent's hand and not being tied to a creature on the battlefield. Brain Maggot could see play in budget or casual decks, but in competitive environments, more efficient hand disruption spells like Thoughtseize would be preferred.
Rules
04/26/14
Brain Maggot’s ability causes a zone change with a duration, a new style of ability that’s somewhat reminiscent of older cards like Tidehollow Sculler. However, unlike Tidehollow Sculler, Brain Maggot has a single ability that creates two one-shot effects: one that exiles the nonland card when the ability resolves, and another that returns the exiled card to its owner’s hand immediately after Brain Maggot leaves the battlefield.

The exiled card returns to its owner’s hand immediately after Brain Maggot leaves the battlefield. Nothing happens between the two events, including state-based actions.
