Hidden Cataract Rulings
5 most recent
- Nov 10, 2023 A spell's mana value is determined only by its mana cost. Ignore any alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, or cost reductions.
- Nov 10, 2023 If the discovered card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
- Nov 10, 2023 If you can't cast the discovered card (perhaps because there are no legal targets for the spell), you'll put it into your hand.
- Nov 10, 2023 If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost", you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those to cast it.
- Nov 10, 2023 If you discover an adventurer card, split card, or modal double-faced card, you might be able to cast that card with either set of characteristics depending on the effect's discover value. For example, if you discover 4 and reveal Galvanic Giant (an adventurer card from Wilds of Eldraine with a mana value of 4), you could cast Galvanic Giant, but not Storm Reading (its Adventure, which has a mana value of 7). If you discover 7 and reveal Galvanic Giant, you could cast either Galvanic Giant or Storm Reading.
