About Long Road Home

Long Road Home, Instant, designed by Sidharth Chaturvedi first released in Jul, 2016 in the set Eldritch Moon and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.49.

This card, Long Road Home, would be beneficial in a white-based control or tempo deck looking to temporarily remove a threatening creature from the battlefield while also gaining a slight advantage upon its return. However, a similar card that sees more play in competitive Magic: the Gathering is Blink of an Eye, which provides flexibility by allowing you to bounce any nonland permanent at instant speed for the same mana cost, making it a more versatile option in various situations. While Long Road Home has its niche uses, Blink of an Eye's flexibility and broader applicability make it a more popular choice in most decks.

Rules

At the time the creature is exiled, Auras attached to it will be put into their owners’ graveyards. Any Equipment will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on it at that time will cease to exist.

If a melded permanent is exiled this way, the two cards will both return with their front faces up. Each gets a +1/+1 counter.

If that creature is exiled during an end step, it won’t come back until the next turn’s end step.
