How Does Ephemerate Work in MTG?
Ephemerate is a spell in Magic: The Gathering that lets you "blink" a creature - meaning you exile it, then immediately return it to the battlefield under its owner's control. This can be super useful for re-triggering enter-the-battlefield effects or dodging removal spells. Plus, it has rebound, so you get to cast it again for free on your next upkeep!

Actually, Ephemerate's pretty straightforward. Exile a creature, then bring it right back. Great for doubling up on those sweet, sweet enter-the-battlefield abilities.
Ephemerate is overrated. Sure, it re-triggers abilities, but there are better cards for that without having to wait for a rebound.
Ephemerate? It's basically a quick getaway car for your creatures. Exile them, bring them back before anyone notices, and if you play it right, they come back with all sorts of goodies. And because of rebound, you do it all over again next turn for zero mana. Magic's version of 'rinse and repeat'.
