Official Rulings (6)
If a Vehicle is exiled with Bishop of Binding, use its printed power to determine the value of X.
If Bishop of Binding leaves the battlefield before its first triggered ability tries to resolve, the target creature wonβt be exiled.
If there is no exiled card as Bishop of Bindingβs last ability resolves, most likely because Bishop of Binding left the battlefield while that ability was on the stack, X is 0. The same is true if the exiled card doesnβt have a power, most likely because itβs a noncreature card that had become a creature.
The value of X is determined only as Bishop of Bindingβs second ability resolves. It wonβt change if the card leaves exile later in the turn.
If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and wonβt return to the battlefield.
Auras attached to the exiled creature will be put into their ownersβ graveyards. Any Equipment will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled creature will cease to exist.
