About Chained to the Rocks

Chained to the Rocks, Enchantment — aura, designed by Aaron Miller first released in Sep, 2013 in the set Theros and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of NZ$ 2.60.

Chained to the Rocks is a powerful removal spell in a white aggro or midrange deck that focuses on controlling the board. It can provide a significant tempo advantage by exiling a threat for just one white mana. While it is a strong card, there are other removal spells like Path to Exile or Swords to Plowshares that are more versatile and don't require enchanting a specific land. Chained to the Rocks can be a good inclusion in decks that can reliably protect their enchanted mountain and benefit from the exile effect, but it may not always be the best option depending on the specific deck strategy and metagame.

Rules

09/15/13

If a creature token is exiled, it ceases to exist. It won’t be returned to the battlefield.

09/15/13

If Chained to the Rocks leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability resolves, the target creature won’t be exiled.

09/15/13

If the land Chained to the Rocks is enchanting stops being a Mountain or another player gains control of it, Chained to the Rocks will be put into its owner’s graveyard when state-based actions are performed.

09/15/13

In a multiplayer game, if Chained to the Rocks’s owner leaves the game, the exiled card will return to the battlefield. Because the one-shot effect that returns the card isn’t an ability that goes on the stack, it won’t cease to exist along with the leaving player’s spells and abilities on the stack.
