If a token is exiled this way, it will cease to exist and won’t return to the battlefield.
wotc19 Jan 2018
If Bishop of Binding leaves the battlefield before its first triggered ability tries to resolve, the target creature won’t be exiled.
wotc19 Jan 2018
Auras attached to the exiled creature will be put into their owners’ graveyards. Any Equipment will become unattached and remain on the battlefield. Any counters on the exiled creature will cease to exist.
wotc19 Jan 2018
If there is no exiled card as Bishop of Binding’s 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 doesn’t have a power, most likely because it’s a noncreature card that had become a creature.
wotc19 Jan 2018
If a Vehicle is exiled with Bishop of Binding, use its printed power to determine the value of X.
wotc19 Jan 2018
The value of X is determined only as Bishop of Binding’s second ability resolves. It won’t change if the card leaves exile later in the turn.
