One point the mechanics article glossed over: A resolving spell with paradigm is always exiled. This matters for the second and subsequent card with any given name. Even though that spell isn't setting up any new copies, the card is still exiled. The reminder text is clear, hopefully. #WotCstaff

A semi-annual reminder that player statements about DQs/Bannings always leave out key details attempting to generate sympathy. They know the “other side” will not discuss the DQ/ban. Sometimes the spin is slight, other times it is massive. There is always more to the story.
