Spectral Arcanist

Creature — Spirit Wizard

Flying
When this creature enters, you may cast an instant or sorcery spell with mana value less than or equal to the number of Spirits you control from a graveyard without paying its mana cost. If that spell would be put into a graveyard, exile it instead.

Rulings (3)
  • If you choose to cast the spell, you must do so as Spectral Arcanist's ability is resolving. You can't wait and cast it later.
  • If you cast a spell with X in its mana cost this way, you must choose 0 as the value for X.
  • If you cast a spell without paying its mana cost, you may choose to pay additional costs (such as kicker) but not alternative costs (such as flashback).
