Collector's Cage Rulings
- Apr 12, 2024 Any player who has controlled a permanent with a hideaway ability since a card was exiled with it may look at that card.
- Apr 12, 2024 Collector's Cage's last ability looks at the creatures you control as it resolves to determine if you can play the exiled card. For example, if you control a 4/5 creature, a 1/1 creature, and a 2/1 creature, there are three different powers among creatures you control.
- Apr 12, 2024 Hideaway now causes you to put the rest of the cards on the bottom of your library in a random order instead of any order.
- Apr 12, 2024 If the spell you cast has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
- Apr 12, 2024 If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell.
