If you choose not to cast the exiled card, it remains in exile.
wotc26 Jul 2024
You cast the exiled card while the ability is resolving and still on the stack. You can’t wait to cast it later in the turn. Timing restrictions based on the card’s type are ignored.
wotc26 Jul 2024
If the spell you cast has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X.
wotc26 Jul 2024
Since you are using an alternative cost to cast the spell, you can’t pay any other alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.
Ranked by shared capabilities, colour identity, mana value and type — never by strategic judgement.
