Cryptic Pursuit Rules Text & Legality

Cryptic Pursuit

Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell from your hand, manifest the top card of your library. (Put that card onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature. Turn it face up any time for its mana cost if it's a creature card.)

Whenever a face-down creature you control dies, exile it if it's an instant or sorcery card. You may cast that card until the end of your next turn.

Cryptic Pursuit is legal in Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern and Pauper.

Cryptic Pursuit Rulings

  • Apr 29, 2022

    A permanent that turns face up or face down changes characteristics but is otherwise the same permanent. Spells and abilities that were targeting that permanent, as well as Auras and Equipment that were attached to the permanent, aren't affected.

  • Apr 29, 2022

    Any time you have priority, you may turn a manifested creature face up by revealing that it's a creature card (ignoring any copy effects or type-changing effects that might be applying to it) and paying its mana cost. This is a special action. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.

  • Apr 29, 2022

    Because face-down creatures don't have names, they can't have the same name as any other creature, even another face-down creature.

  • Apr 29, 2022

    Because the permanent is on the battlefield both before and after it's turned face up, turning a permanent face up doesn't cause any enters-the-battlefield abilities to trigger.

  • Apr 29, 2022

    If a double-faced card is manifested, it will be put onto the battlefield face down. While face down, it can't transform. If the front face of the card is a creature card, you can turn it face up by paying its mana cost. If you do, its front face will be up.
