Can Howltooth Hollow Play non-Instants at Instant Speed?

Asked by GoldenAgeBatman 5 years ago

Would Howltooth Hollow allow for stashing a non-Instant speed card like, say, Damnation and be able to play it at Instant speed similar to Brain in a Jar?

Yes, that works. If you're told to play/cast something as part of the resolution of some other spell or ability, you just do it. You don't have to follow the normal rules of when you're allowed to play it.

There's one exception: you're never allowed to play a land during someone else's turn. Effects like this won't let you do that.

What about cards that have timing restrictions such as "Cast only during the declare blockers step"? To my knowledge it's only timing restrictions based on type that hideaway lands get around.

Kogarashi you're right. I was only thinking about the rules of the game. If a card has its own specific restrictions on when you're allowed to play it, you still have to follow those.
