Collector's Cage's last ability looks at the creatures you control as it resolves to determine if you can play the exiled card. For example, if you control a 4/5 creature, a 1/1 creature, and a 2/1 creature, there are three different powers among creatures you control.

If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell.

Previously, permanents with hideaway entered the battlefield tapped. This ability has been removed from the definition of hideaway. Older cards have received errata to have an additional paragraph that reads "[This permanent] enters the battlefield tapped," and they now have hideaway 4.

Any player who has controlled a permanent with a hideaway ability since a card was exiled with it may look at that card.
