A player's "opening hand" is the hand of cards the player has after all players have taken mulligans. If players have any cards in hand that allow actions to be taken with them from a player's opening hand, the starting player takes all such actions first in any order, followed by each other player in turn order. Then the first turn begins. - 2011-06-01 · Wizards of the Coast
You may pay additional costs, such as kicker costs, of the instant or sorcery card. - 2011-06-01 · Wizards of the Coast
If you are unable to cast the card, perhaps because there are no legal targets available, the card remains in its owner's graveyard. - 2011-06-01 · Wizards of the Coast
If the card has any mandatory additional costs, then you must pay them in order to cast the spell. - 2011-06-01 · Wizards of the Coast
If you reveal more than one Chancellor of the Spires from your opening hand, each opponent will put the top seven cards of their library into their graveyard that many times (for a total of fourteen, twenty-one, or twenty-eight cards). - 2011-06-01 · Wizards of the Coast
The instant or sorcery card you target with the "enters" triggered ability is cast as part of the resolution of that ability. Timing restrictions based on the card's type are ignored. Other restrictions, such as "Cast [this card] only during combat," are not.
