When a card is banished and played by Promising Future but cannot be played due to having no legal targets, does it go to the trash or stay banished?

Answer

Ruling: The card stays banished for the rest of the game. It does not move to the trash.

Nuances:

  • This matters for decks with abilities to recur cards from trash (like Teemo or Ezreal decks with Annie)
  • This ruling was originally in the FAQ and was the reason for the errata to Promising Future
  • While the FAQ is deprecated, the errata was created from it so the ruling still applies

Does this answer look correct?
