Rulings

3 · latest Sep 25, 2006
  • WotCSep 25, 2006

    After Quicken resolves, you can Suspend a sorcery in your hand any time you can cast an instant. As soon as you actually cast a sorcery, you lose this capability.

  • WotCFeb 1, 2006

    If you cast multiple Quickens on the same turn, they'll all apply to the very next sorcery spell you cast.

  • WotCFeb 1, 2006

    You don't choose a sorcery card when Quicken resolves. Rather, this sets up a rule that is true for you until the turn ends or until you cast a sorcery card, even if you cast that sorcery at a time you normally could.
