Exile target creature. If you don't control a Human, you lose life equal to that creature's toughness.

"I will preserve human life at all costs. I will stand alone against behemoths before I let them touch my city. I will hold the wall." —Oath of the Coppercoats

Rulings

Use the exiled creature’s toughness as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how much life you lose.

Whether you control a Human is checked only after exiling the target creature. If that creature had exiled a Human you controlled until that creature left the battlefield, that Human will return to the battlefield in time to be counted.
