Does containment priest exile Brago's targets?

Asked by adboyer 2 years ago

So, if someone where to flash in a Containment Priest in response to the triggered ability of Brago, King Eternal could I select no target's for Brago's ability to avoid exiling my own creatures?

You have to set the targets when you put the ability on the stack. Unless some other effect allows you to change them you will not be able to change what is targeted.

Targets are selected when the ability enters the stack, before any player gets a round of priority. In other words, you have to choose before your opponent casts Containment Priest. You will lose to exile anything targeted with him, including Brago himself, unless you can remove the Priest before Brago's ability resolves.

You wouldn't lose Brago unless he flickers himself, which is an option often chosen, but not required.
