  • WotCOct 5, 2018

    A spell cast using jump-start will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, it's countered, or it leaves the stack in some other way.

  • WotCOct 5, 2018

    If a card with jump-start is put into your graveyard during your turn, you'll be able to cast it right away if it's legal to do so, before an opponent can take any actions.

  • WotCOct 5, 2018

    If an effect allows you to pay an alternative cost rather than a spell's mana cost, you may pay that alternative cost when you jump-start a spell. You'll still discard a card as an additional cost to cast it.

  • WotCOct 5, 2018

    If the target creature becomes an illegal target for Sonic Assault, the spell doesn't resolve. No player is dealt damage.

  • WotCOct 5, 2018

    Sonic Assault can target a tapped creature. The creature can't be tapped again, but Sonic Assault still deals 2 damage to that creature's controller.

  • WotCOct 5, 2018

    You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions when casting a spell with jump-start, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using jump-start only when you could normally cast a sorcery.
