Champion of the Path

RareColour IDMV 4
Creature — Elemental Sorcerer
As an additional cost to cast this spell, behold an Elemental and exile it. (Exile an Elemental you control or an Elemental card from your hand.)
Whenever another Elemental you control enters, it deals damage equal to its power to each opponent.
When this creature leaves the battlefield, return the exiled card to its owner's hand.

If an Elemental you control that isn't a creature enters (probably because it's a kindred permanent with the Elemental subtype), Champion of the Path's second ability will still trigger. If that Elemental still isn't a creature when the ability resolves, the ability won't deal any damage.

If a card in your hand is already revealed (perhaps because it was revealed to pay a cost of a spell that's still on the stack or due to the effect of a card like Telepathy), you may reveal it again to pay the cost of another spell or ability that requires you to reveal a card from your hand.

If the Elemental that caused Champion of the Path's second ability to trigger is no longer on the battlefield when that ability resolves, use that Elemental's power as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how much damage is dealt.

If a cost to cast a spell includes revealing a card, that card remains revealed from the time the spell is announced until the time it leaves the stack.

If an effect refers to a "[subtype] card," it refers only to a card that has that subtype. For example, Glen Elendra's Answer creates a Faerie token and features a Faerie in its art, but it isn't a Faerie card.

If Champion of the Path is countered or otherwise fails to resolve, the beheld card will remain in exile indefinitely.
