Rulings (2)
- It is only considered "cast from your hand" if you cast it as a spell from your hand. Putting it onto the battlefield from your hand using a spell or ability will cause you to lose the game.
- In a Commander game where this card is your commander, casting it from the Command zone does not count as casting it from your hand.
