Arcane Adaptation, stolen cards, and tribe spell triggers

Asked by Coward_Token 3 years ago

I have an Arcane Adaptation with Pirates named,a Breeches, Brazen Plunderer, and a Lightning-Rig Crew. I activate the Crew, dealing damage and triggering Breeches. One of the exiled cards is a non-Pirate creature. If I cast it, will it untap the Crew?

Yes, you will be able to untap Lightning-Rig Crew. Whenever an ability triggers off of you casting a spell with certain qualities, it checks the qualities of the spell after it is cast. The clause on Arcane Adaptation that applies in this scenario is "creature spells you control" not "creature cards you own that aren't on the battlefield".
