Baral and Kari Zev Rules Text & Legality

Baral and Kari Zev

First strike, menace

Whenever you cast your first instant or sorcery spell each turn, you may cast a spell with lesser mana value that shares a card type with it from your hand without paying its mana cost. If you don't, create First Mate Ragavan, a legendary 2/1 red Monkey Pirate creature token. It gains haste until end of turn.

Baral and Kari Zev is legal in Pioneer, Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard and Pauper.
