Arcane Heist Rules Text & Legality

Arcane Heist

You may cast target instant or sorcery card from an opponent's graveyard without paying its mana cost. If that spell would be put into their graveyard, exile it instead.

Cipher (Then you may exile this spell card encoded on a creature you control. Whenever that creature deals combat damage to a player, its controller may cast a copy of the encoded card without paying its mana cost.)

Arcane Heist is legal in Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern and Pauper.

Arcane Heist Rulings

  • Apr 12, 2024

    If a creature with an encoded card deals combat damage to more than one player simultaneously (perhaps because some of the combat damage was redirected), the triggered ability will trigger once for each player it deals combat damage to. Each ability will create a copy of the exiled card and allow you to cast it.

  • Apr 12, 2024

    If another player gains control of the creature, that player will control the triggered ability. That player will create a copy of the encoded card and may cast it.

  • Apr 12, 2024

    If the creature leaves the battlefield, the exiled card will no longer be encoded on any creature. It will stay exiled.

  • Apr 12, 2024

    If the spell with cipher doesn’t resolve, none of its effects will happen, including cipher. The card will go to its owner’s graveyard and won’t be encoded on a creature.

  • 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.
