    Necropotence's last ability creates a delayed triggered ability that will put the exiled card into your hand. That ability still triggers even if Necropotence is removed from the battlefield before your end step.

  2. Wizards of the Coast · 2023-09-01

    You can't look at the cards exiled by the last ability while they're face down.
