wotc4 Oct 2019
If an effect allows or instructs you to cast a spell during another player's turn, you can't do so. The restriction of Fires of Invention takes precedence over that permission. Similarly, if an effect allows or instructs you to cast a third spell during your turn, you can't do so.
wotc4 Oct 2019
If you cast one card twice during a turn (such as by casting it as an Adventure and then casting it from exile as a creature), you've cast two spells.
wotc4 Oct 2019
Fires of Invention doesn't impose any restrictions on playing lands or activating abilities.
wotc4 Oct 2019
If an effect says that you may cast a card that you couldn't otherwise cast if you pay an alternative cost (such as the flashback keyword), you have to pay that alternative cost if you use that permission to cast the card. You can't choose to cast it but cast it without paying its mana cost.
wotc4 Oct 2019
You may choose to pay the mana cost or an alternative cost for spells you cast, even if their mana value is less than or equal to the number of lands you control.
wotc4 Oct 2019
If a spell has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
