This isn't quite right, the quote would be better on the answer card than on the faerie, but that wouldn't make sense on it's own.
I keep playing with various "come back around" mechanics. The flavour for this is the supposed to be the sort of immortality where someone dies, clearly, but you sort of expect them to turn up anyway when things get momentous. A bit like king arthur. Or Anansi in Gaiman. Not "coming back to life" but "oh, you didn't take that too seriously, did you?"
So the idea is, the cmc-5 trigger represents a rare-ish event, something that happens every so often but can't happen all the time. I considered "to hand", but to the battlefield just seemed more interesting. After all, we can choose which cards get the ability.
See Challenge # 158.
