Official rulings

  2. As long as the card remains exiled, you may still play it, even if Fiend of the Shadows leaves the battlefield or changes controllers. (2011-01-22)
  3. If this creature deals combat damage to multiple players simultaneously, perhaps because some combat damage was redirected, its ability will trigger for each of those players. (2011-01-22)
  4. You may only play the card, meaning play it as a land or cast it as a spell. It's not in your hand. You can't discard it, activate its cycling abilities, and so on. (2011-01-22)
