Expressive Iteration Rulings

  • Mar 20, 2026

    If there are fewer than three cards in your library, follow the instructions in the order given for any cards that are there. For example, if there are two cards in your library, you'll put one of them into your hand and one of them on the bottom of your library. You won't have the option to exile either of them.

  • Apr 16, 2021

    Cards exiled are always exiled face up unless specified otherwise by the effect that exiled it.

  • Apr 16, 2021

    If you choose to play the exiled card this turn, you must still pay all costs and follow all timing restrictions required by that card. If it's a land, you can't play it unless you have a land play available.

  • Apr 16, 2021

    If you don't play the exiled card, it remains exiled. It won't be available to be played on future turns.
