Ok, quick question. If Reyhan, Last of the Abzan is my commander and I play Unstoppable Ash and use the champion on my commander. In the case that I move my commander to the command zone which I am allowed to do as a replacement effect when he would be exiled, will my commander return from exile if the Unstoppable Ash dies and my commander has not changed zone from my command zone?
Obviously the hope is to dump the counters from Reyhan and still recover him later when the Ash leaves play. I remember some of these exile flicker effects can work with putting commanders back to command zone but I dont know the exact rules of where it works and where it does not.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
The relevant part of Champion is "When this permanent leaves the battlefield, return the exiled card to the battlefield under its owner’s control." (702.71a). This will not return your commander from the command zone; it will only look for a card in the exile zone.
607.2a If an object has an activated or triggered ability printed on it that instructs a player to exile one or more cards and an ability printed on it that refers either to “the exiled cards” or to cards “exiled with [this object],” these abilities are linked. The second ability refers only to cards in the exile zone that were put there as a result of an instruction to exile them in the first ability.
Obviously the hope is to dump the counters from Reyhan and still recover him later when the Ash leaves play. I remember some of these exile flicker effects can work with putting commanders back to command zone but I dont know the exact rules of where it works and where it does not.
