Magic the Gathering (MTG) - Tech Talk - Hushbringer

Time for interactions with Throne of Eldraine cards with older cards

Hushbringer

CMC: 1W
P/T: 1/2

Creature: Faerie
Flying, Lifelink
Creatures entering the battlefield or dying don't cause abilities to trigger.

So for those that remember Torpor Orb, it was an artifact that could shut off abilities from triggering when a creature enters the battlefield.

Let's look at this interactions with some of the older cards.

Now let's look at this situation when using Fiend Hunter that exiled a creature.

Let's say that Fiend Hunter leaves the battlefield, its ability will trigger for that reason.

Now if you control Hushbringer & Field Hunter that has exiled a creature. Now let's say that Fiend Hunter died for some reason.

Here is the interesting part. So normally Fiend Hunter's ability will trigger if it leaves the battlefield, but with Hushbringer in play, Fiend Hunter's ability does not trigger because it left the battlefield dying.

So that creature that was exiled, it will stay exiled for good.

This will also apply to cards like Tidehollow Sculler & Spell Queller.

Also make sure that you don't already have Hushbringer on board because it also shuts off enter the battlefield abilities.
