Trapped on Ravnica with no affection for either side, Ob Nixilis sought gratification in random acts of torment.
Rulings
The replacement effect from Ob Nixilis’s Cruelty will exile the target creature if it would die this turn for any reason, not just immediately after Ob Nixilis’s Cruelty resolves.
