- If Daxos is blocked by a creature, raising that creature's power to 3 or greater won't change or undo the block. (2013-09-15)
- Daxos doesn't change when you can cast the exiled card. For example, if you exile a creature card without flash, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty. (2013-09-15)
