Does Hypersonic Dragon's ability nullify Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir second ability

Asked by heinrichdk 8 years ago

Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir's second ability reads "Each opponent can cast spells only any time he or she could cast a sorcery." if i have a Hypersonic Dragon in play and my opponent a Teferi will i be able to play my instants again at instant speed because i can cast a sorcery at instant speed?

No. "Any time you could cast a sorcery" is MTG shorthand for "during your own main phase when the stack is empty and you have priority." Changing when you could cast a sorcery spell does not change effects that concern times when you could normally cast a sorcery.

Remember to check the Gatherer rulings before posting a question. Gatherer rulings include FAQs and other relevant clarifications that answer most questions typically asked about specific cards.

The last ability means that in order for an opponent to cast a spell, it must be that opponent's turn, during a main phase, and the stack must be empty. This is true even if the player doesn't have a sorcery he or she is able to cast, or if a rule or effect allows a spell to be cast at another time.
