Gameplay and rules

If you cast more than one of the exiled cards, you choose the order in which to cast them. A spell you cast this way can be the target of a later spell you cast this way. However, permanent spells cast this way won't resolve until you're done casting spells, so the permanents they become can't be the target of spells cast this way. For example, if you exile Twincast and Lightning Strike, you can cast Lightning Strike and then cast Twincast targeting it; but if you exile a creature card and an Aura card, you can't cast that Aura targeting that creature.

If an exiled card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
wotc14 Apr 2023
You can look at each card you exile before deciding whether to push your luck or stop.
wotc14 Apr 2023
Any cards not cast, including land cards, remain in exile. They can't be cast on later turns.
wotc14 Apr 2023
If you danced with calamity a little too closely, and the total mana value of the exiled cards is greater than 13, the cards you exiled will remain there and you won't get to cast any of them.
wotc14 Apr 2023
If you cast a card "without paying its mana cost," you can't pay any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the card.
