Suppose Player A has Gisa, Glorious Resurrector.

Player B has Liesa, Forgotten Archangel.

Player C has random non-token creature.

If a creature dies on A's board, it gets exiled by Liesa, yes?

What if a creature dies on Liesa's board? Gisa gets it? Or it goes back to Liesa's hand?

What about a creature on C's board? Is it exiled forever? Does Gisa get it?

Since both of these cards are likely to show up in my meta, I want to be prepared!

Accepted Answer

Both have replacement effects so when C's creature would die, they choose which effect exiles it but one of them (and only one of them) will exile it.

You are correct about a creature dying on A's board in that Liesa will exile it. The same applies with something dying on B's board in that Gisa will exile it. Since it is a replacement effect it replaces dying with being exiled instead which means it never dies and Gisa never triggers.
