Rulings

2 · latest Nov 8, 2024
  • WotCNov 8, 2024

    Cleon's second ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered or otherwise leaves the stack without resolving.

  • WotCNov 8, 2024

    You pay all costs and follow all timing rules for cards played with the permission granted by Cleon's last ability. For example, if the exiled card is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty.
