If Kaya, Ghost Assassin exiles a commander with the first ability, and its controller chooses not to replace exile with the command zone, the commander will still go to the command zone until Kaya returns it.

Isn't that correct? Since Kaya doesn't refer to the "exiled" card, it will track the commander through the replacement effect and return it to the battlefield.

Even if kaya says “exiled card”, it will still track the commander. It won’t work if kaya specifically says “return the card from exile zone”, which is not the case.

Card works as intended. Kaya can and should be able to return a card from the command zone.

[stash86]

I forgot the edit the title. The bug isn’t that the Commander would be returned, but its controller specifically chose to have the creature being exiled, but the system still put it into command zone

Can we get confirmation on that?
