Rulings
- April 26, 2014 — Deicide looks at the card in exile, not the permanent that was exiled, to determine if it is a God. For each of the Gods in the Theros block, it won't matter what your devotion to its color(s) was. The card is a God card when not on the battlefield.
- April 26, 2014 — When you search the target's controller's graveyard, hand, and library, you may leave any cards with that name in the zones they're in. You don't have to exile them.
