I did a few researches and I'm still confused.
Question,
How exactly does Fiend Hunter and Cloudshift work together?
Do I get to exile 2 creatures or no?
Also, how can I explain it to other people that I play with using simple words?
Thanks
So, with anything like Fiend Hunter (Itself, Oblivion Ring, Journey to Nowhere, Detention Sphere), they enter the battlfield first, then the first ability to exile something tries to resolve. If it is removed before that ability resolves, then its second ability, return the exiled thing to the battlefield, resolves first, even though you haven't exiled it yet. It resolves, nothing happens, then the first ability resolves and the thing you exiled is gone forever.
With Cloudshift, you put Fiend Hunter's first ability on the stack, cast Cloudshift, blinking him, then targeting another thing. The first target will be exiled forever, and you get to hit another target, except that second one can still be returned when Fiend Hunter dies (unless you can have the Fiend Hunter leave the battefield again in some way before that first ability resolves).
Sorry its complex, I didn't get it my first time myself.
As simply as I can put it, when it enters, you choose a target, and before it's exiled, you removed your exiler (in this case, the Fiend Hunter) from the battlefield, causing you to return the target to the battlefield, even though it hasn't left yet, then it finally gets exiled, without the opportunity to return. And since it entered the battlefield again from Cloudshift, you can choose another target to exile.
