    Sothera's ability also fails if Sothera is still on the battlefield but unable to be sacrificied.

    I tested it against sparky using :
    - Zurgo, Thunder's Decree (During your end step, Warrior tokens you control have “This token can’t be sacrificed.”)
    - Applied Geometry (Create a token that’s a copy of target non-Aura permanent you control, except it’s a 0/0 Fractal creature in addition to its other types. Put six +1/+1 counters on it.)
    - Stalactite Dagger (Equipped creature gets +1/+1 and is all creature types.)
    this gives us a warrior token Sothera that can't be sacrificed in the end step, and the ability refuses to return an exiled creature. Removing the dagger (and thus the Warrior subtype) makes the ability once again function normally.

    Also, Tim is incorrect in saying that leaving the battlefield breaks the ability. Linked abilities that care about exiled cards track said exiled cards directly. I have tested it with Emperor of bones, which has similarly linked abilities, and removing it from the battlefield in response to its "return" ability doesn't break it like Sothera.
