Does Narset's Reversal put Temporal Mastery into my hand, instead of it being exiled?

Asked by Asturonethoriusaline 4 years ago

Narset's Reversal causes instants, sorcery spells to be copied, and then to be put into hand.

So if I cast, play Temporal Mastery , then cast Narset's Reveral, that copies Temporal Mastery, then puts Temporal Mastery, into my hand, before Temporal Mastery is exiled. Is that right?

Also If I either Snapcaster Mage , / flash cast a instant, socery spell in graveyard, normally that card gets exiled.

But If I Narset Reveral copy it, does the copied flashlike casted card that normally would be exiled, go to my hand instead of being exiled?

The Temporal Mastery would go to your hand, but the spell cast with flashback would still go to exile.

The "exile this" part of Temporal Mastery's effect happens as part of its resolution. If you return the spell to your hand before it starts to resolve then none of its effects will happen.

Part of the full rules for flashback say that if the spell would leave the stack at all, it goes to exile. It doesn't matter whether it actually resolved or not.

702.33a Flashback appears on some instants and sorceries. It represents two static abilities: one that functions while the card is in a player’s graveyard and another that functions while the card is on the stack. “Flashback [cost]” means “You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost” and “If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack.” Casting a spell using its flashback ability follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2f–h.

What about Jace, Telepath Unbound

It doesnt flashcast like Snapcaster Mage does, it just say that may cast instant, sorcery card, from graveyard, and that if the card would goto a graveyard, to exile it.

So if I use Jace's ability to cast a instant, sorcery, then Narset's Reversal copy it, it copies the instant, then sends it to my hand, then since it didnt go to graveyard, it doesnt exile.

So if I got this right:

  1. Temporal Mastery is saved, not exiled

  2. Jace casting instants, soceries from graveyard are saved.

  3. Snapcaster Mage graveyard instants and sorceries are exiled.

Is that right then?

Thanks.

Yes, if you use Jace, Telepath Unbound to recast the spell from your graveyard, it would go to your hand instead of exile, unlike with flashback.

From the Gatherer rulings for Jace, Telepath Unbound :

  • The card is exiled only if it’s cast from the graveyard and put back into the graveyard (either by resolving or being countered). If, at any time, the card goes to a hidden zone (such as your hand or your library), the effect loses track of the card. It won’t be exiled, even if that card is put into your graveyard later that turn. (2015-06-22)

Ok thanks you both.

Wish that I could mark both your answers as the accept answer
