Why do some cards now say 'Banish, then play it' instead of playing directly from the deck?

Ruling: Cards use "Banish, then play it" templating to handle cases where the card cannot be played. If the card cannot be played after being banished, it stays banished permanently rather than returning to the deck.

Nuances:

• This templating prevents issues with tracking where unplayable cards should return to in the deck (top or bottom)
• It handles edge cases like units with mandatory additional costs (e.g., Cruel Patron) that cannot be paid
• The approach mirrors similar mechanics in other card games (like Magic's Cascade keyword)
• While banishment may seem unintuitive, it avoids needing special rules for returning cards to specific deck positions
• The alternative of recycling unplayable cards would require additional rules text and create ambiguity about deck positioning
