Rulings
  • WotCAug 25, 2017

    Any of the cards you don’t play will remain in exile.

  • WotCAug 25, 2017

    If no spells have been cast in the turn you activate Magus of the Mind’s ability, X is one.

  • WotCAug 25, 2017

    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.

  • WotCAug 25, 2017

    If you cast a card “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t pay any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, such as that of Tormenting Voice, those must be paid to cast the card.

  • WotCAug 25, 2017

    You may play a land exiled this way only if you have an available land play this turn.

  • WotCAug 25, 2017

    You must follow the normal timing permissions and restrictions for cards you cast this way.
