Monstrous Vortex Rules Text & Legality

Monstrous Vortex

Whenever you cast a creature spell with power 5 or greater, discover X, where X is that spell's mana value. (Exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card with that mana value or less. Cast it without paying its mana cost or put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom in a random order.)

Monstrous Vortex is legal in Modern, Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer and Pauper.

Monstrous Vortex Rulings

  • Jun 7, 2024

    A spell's mana value is determined only by its mana cost. Ignore any alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, or cost reductions.

  • Jun 7, 2024

    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.

  • Jun 7, 2024

    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.

  • Jun 7, 2024

    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.

  • Jun 7, 2024

    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.
