@Atogatogatog: It would be a voluntary infinite combo i.e. you can do it, but it would not result in a draw, because you can choose to exile other things. Of course, it still has nice implications, like gaining a gazillion life with Soul Warden, or drawing the whole deck with Gllimpse of Nature
Is there some possible way to trigger an infinite number of creatures entering the battlefield with 3 of these?
Have one out, play one targeting it, play another targeting the one you just played, the exiled one comes back, etc.?
@ Superllama12
Glimpse of Nature wouldn't work because you're not playing the creatures, they're just coming into play. I was thinking along the same lines as Soul Warden also, but with Suture Priest.

All you need is a sac engine, just sac him when his first ability goes into the stack, that way, ull trigger his second ability, which will resolve before the first, causing you to return nothing (since nothings been exiled). Then, once hes gone, the first one will resolve and u can exile something. Finish with some grave recursion (Oversold Cemetery, for instance) and ur good to go.

@ rinoh20
That doesn't make much sense, the only immunity you can give Sun Titan is if you exile it (and now you aren't using it) and should Fiend Hunter die, you can bring it back, return Fiend Hunter and then Exile Sun Titan again, so while Sun Titan isn't dead, its constantly exiled.
Actually I'm just gonna assume you didn't make any sense, or you forgot to name a card?

Lovely creature, its a slightly more costly(in terms of coloured mana and target selection) Oblivion Ring, but giving you a 1/3 body and a not too obscure creature type
This is just silly with Leonin Relic-Warder, Nevermore, Oblivion Ring and Exclusion Ritual all available in Standard. I mean that in the "I smell a delightfully irritating deck concept" sense, not the "hold on a second, it's too much of a good thing" sense. The rest of T2 is just lucky that Vedalken Mastermind isn't getting another reprint

He's pretty good, but I think it's better to view him as tempo gain rather than removal. He's PROBABLY going to die eventually (much more often than Journey to Nowhere would, as more decks have creature removal than enchantment removal), giving the creature back when he does. But still very good.

This will see play in every Human deck and every Geist of Saint Traft control deck. Also, works as a good Human to help support Angelic Overseer.
Somehow get this imprinted on the the Mimic Vat (probably with Culling Dais). Now, when you make a copy with the vat, his first ability will go on that stack. In response, sacrifice it to the Dais. After the hunter dies, it's second ability goes on the stack. Since it's first ability has yet to resolve, nothing gets returned. Then it's first ability resolves exiling the creature forever. Do this as often as you need to until you're ready to sacrifice the Dais to get a massive card draw and win the game.

@Superllama, they'd only trigger on initial cast for Glimpse of Nature since casting and not ETB is what it's looking at.

Essentially a new Champion creature, only cheaper. Three of these on top of one another can exile each other indefinitely, creating a perfect loop for Warstorm Surge or the Soul Sisters for arbitrary amounts of damage or life (or both).

After having the chance to play with this guy a few times, I can honestly say that he is an all-star in white weenie. He is more vulnerable than Journey to Nowhere, but you can't block 2/1s with Journey. He's extra fun if you have ways to recur him from your graveyard, like Sun Titan, as methodically picking apart your opponent's field position is a remarkably effective strategy.

A very powerful card. There are drawbacks to this though. If you were to exile an opponent's creature, and then he preceded to play Day of Judgement, he would then have instant board advantage, especially if the creature triggers an ability when entering the battlefield (e.g. the Titans). This being a creature has it's downsides. I believe it takes quite some skill to play with this card. Beginners are better off playing Journeys, or O-Rings. Nevertheless, this card truly shines when handled right. 4.5/5

You can also use it defensively. Exile one of your own creatures and then proceed to Day or Wrath or what have you. Nuke the board, keep a creature, they cry. There's also the fact that it works similar to Faceless Butcher, in that if you can bounce/sac/remove him from the field before his first effect resolves, the creature remains exiled permanently.

on the infinity loop side of this card (three of them all targeting each-other) you could also get infinite damage with mantle of leadership, or get a bunch of really high damage creatures with Juniper order ranger, a bunch (though not infinite) of cards with mentor of the meek, a trillion and one myrr tokens with genesis chamber, a Daru spiritualist on the battlefield will give all three infinite toughness + starlit sanctum and you've got another infinite life possibility, or if you had an angelic chorus . . . all that besides the obvious soul warden
It's more white-heavy than O-ring, but you get a 1/3 human out of it. Sounds good to me.

2 days ago, I was playing Standard at FNM. It was my Humans vs. his Pod. He played a Wurmcoil Engine. Not surprisingly, I FH'd it. On his turn, he FH'd my FH. Not to be outdone, I then FH'd his FH, letting my 1st FH exile his Wurmcoil. He then FH'd my FH again. I FH'd his FH right back. He then proceeded to Oblivion Ring my FH.
I lost. Lulz were had.

This is a very good card. Creature removal, tempo control, and a 1/3 body. The art is also very cool. Reynolds does a great job depicting a battle hardened human cleric, in a dark fiendish world, on a mission to exile evil with his warhammer. Very badass!

As FogRaider said, this is more of a tempo gain than removal, but I'm going to stress the fact that this creature actually ATTRACTS enemy removal, meaning that it takes the heat off of your other creatures.
All that in one card for 3 casting cost? I'm gonna take four of these please.

I love playing this and then exiling my own sun titan. I then continue to play Day of Judgement, or whatever that card that wipes all creatures is. This brings my titan back, which slowly allows me to bring back some creatures and enchantments that I lost with the Day of Judgement. Though even without this long strategy, the fiend hunter is an epicly epic card.
