The Neutrinos

Legendary Creature — Elf Rebel

The Neutrinos wants a deck that removes its creatures and brings them right back to reuse them. It also works in a deck built around Elves or Rebels.

Wizards of the Coast 27 Jan 2026

Although the creature you put onto the battlefield is attacking, it was never declared as an attacking creature. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won't trigger when that creature enters attacking. (Any abilities that triggered before The Neutrinos exiled the creature are unaffected, and the source of those abilities is that creature as it last existed on the battlefield, not the creature that's attacking now.)

Wizards of the Coast 27 Jan 2026

If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won't return to the battlefield.

Wizards of the Coast 27 Jan 2026

Once a creature exiled this way returns, it's considered a new object with no relation to the object that it was. Auras attached to the exiled creature will be put into their owners' graveyards. Equipment attached to the exiled permanent will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled creature will cease to exist.

Wizards of the Coast 27 Jan 2026

You choose the player, planeswalker, or battle the returned creature is attacking. It doesn't need to be the same player, planeswalker, or battle that The Neutrinos or any other attacking creatures are attacking.

Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryWRPlayers write colors as letters: W for white, R for red.Blink/FlickerBlink decks briefly remove their own creatures from play and return them at once, so every 'when this enters' ability happens again.
