    Plot abilities are written “Plot [cost],” which means “Any time you have priority during your main phase while the stack is empty, you may pay [cost] and exile this card from your hand. It becomes plotted.”
  • 2024-04-12 · Wizards of the Coast
    You can’t cast a plotted card on the same turn it became plotted. On any future turn, you may cast that card from exile without paying its mana cost during your main phase while the stack is empty.
  • 2024-04-12 · Wizards of the Coast
    Exiling a card using its plot ability is a special action. Once you announce you’re taking that action, no other player can respond by trying to remove that card from your hand.
  • 2024-04-12 · Wizards of the Coast
    If a plotted card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
  • 2024-04-12 · Wizards of the Coast
    If you’re casting a plotted card from exile without paying its mana cost, you can’t choose to cast it for any other alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the plotted card has any mandatory additional costs, those must still be paid to cast the spell.
  • 2024-04-12 · Wizards of the Coast
    Doc Aurlock’s abilities don’t change the mana cost or mana value of any spell. They change only the total cost you pay to cast spells or plot cards from the appropriate zones.
  • 2024-04-12 · Wizards of the Coast
    Doc Aurlock’s abilities can’t reduce the amount of colored mana you pay for a spell or ability. It reduces only the generic mana component of that spell or ability’s cost.
