Escape Detection

{1}{U}{U}Instant

Freerunning—Return a blue creature you control to its owner's hand. (You may cast this spell for its freerunning cost if you dealt combat damage to a player this turn with an Assassin or commander.)

Return target creature to its owner's hand.

Draw a card.

Official rulings

  1. If the target creature is an illegal target as Escape Detection tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t draw a card. (2024-07-05)
  2. Once an Assassin creature or commander you control deals combat damage to a player in a turn, you can cast spells for their freerunning costs for the rest of that turn. It doesn’t matter what happens to that Assassin or commander after that. (2024-07-05)
