If Darius is played as the second card, gets Rebuked, then replayed as the third card, does he enter play exhausted or ready?

Ruling: Darius will stay exhausted when replayed as the third card. He does not need to be on board to count himself as the third card played in a turn.

Sequence:

  • First card is played
  • Darius is played as the second card (enters exhausted)
  • Opponent Rebukes Darius
  • Darius is replayed as the third card (stays exhausted because his ready effect only triggers on the second card played)
