Gandalf of the Secret Fire Rules Text & Legality
View on Scryfall ↗Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell from your hand during an opponent's turn, exile that card with three time counters on it instead of putting it into your graveyard as it resolves. Then if the exiled card doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend. (At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may play it without paying its mana cost.)
Gandalf of the Secret Fire is legal in Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern and Pauper.
Gandalf of the Secret Fire Rulings
- Feb 2, 2024 Cards exiled with suspend are exiled face up.
- Feb 2, 2024 Due to a recent rules change to suspend, you are no longer required to cast the suspended card as the second triggered ability of suspend resolves. Instead, as the second triggered ability resolves, you may cast the card. Timing permissions based on the card's type are ignored. If you don't cast the card, it remains exiled with no time counters on it, and it's no longer suspended.
- Feb 2, 2024 Exiling a card with suspend isn't casting that card. This action doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.
- Feb 2, 2024 If an effect refers to a "suspended card," that means a card that (1) has suspend, (2) is in exile, and (3) has one or more time counters on it.
- Feb 2, 2024 If the card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
