Oracle text

Exile the top X cards of target opponent's library. You may play those cards this turn. If you cast a spell this way, pay life equal to its mana value rather than pay its mana cost.

"Old fool!" Bilbo thought. "Why, there is a large patch in the hollow of his left breast as bare as a snail out of its shell!"

Rulings (3)

  1. 2026-06-29

    You must follow all normal timing rules when playing a land or casting a spell for cards exiled with Inside Information. For example, if an exiled card is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty and only if you have an available land play remaining.

  2. 2026-06-29

    If a spell has X generic mana in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

  3. 2026-06-29

    If you cast a spell for another cost "rather than pay its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If a spell has any mandatory additional costs, such as that of Stir Up Trouble, those must be paid for it.
