Legality

Rulings (4)

  • If an ability triggers whenever you activate an exhaust ability, that ability resolves before the exhaust ability resolves.
  • If an exhaust ability of a permanent is activated, and then that permanent leaves the battlefield and returns to the battlefield, it becomes a new object so its exhaust ability can be activated again.
  • Exhaust abilities can be activated any time you could normally activate an ability.
  • Boom Scholar’s first ability can cause the mana component of the cost to activate an ability to be 0 generic.
