Rulings

  • 2006-07-15 You can’t exile a card from your hand to pay for itself. At the time you would pay costs, that card is on the stack, not in your hand.
  • 2006-07-15 If you don’t have two cards of the right color in your hand, you can’t choose to cast the spell using the alternative cost.
  • 2006-07-15 You may pay the alternative cost rather than the card’s mana cost. Any additional costs are paid as normal.
