Talent of the Telepath Rulings

• Jun 22, 2015

  Check to see if there are two or more instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard as the spell resolves to determine whether the spell mastery ability applies. The spell itself won’t count because it’s still on the stack as you make this check.

  If the card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as its value.

• Jun 22, 2015

  If the spell mastery ability applies, you’ll cast the two cards in order. The one you cast last will be the one that resolves first.

  If you can’t cast any instant or sorcery cards (perhaps because there are no legal targets available) or if you choose not to cast one, then Talent of the Telepath finishes resolving. Any of the revealed cards you didn’t cast will be put into that player’s graveyard.

  If you cast a card “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t pay any alternative costs. You can pay additional costs such as kicker costs. If the card has mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.
