Exiling cards from graves in response to them casting it
Asked by griffstick 5 years ago
So let use Muldrotha, the Gravetide for example. And he or she has a Reclamation Sage in the graveyard. And I have a Necrogenesis in play with 2 mana untapped.
The player with muldrutha spends the mana to cast Reclamation Sage from his or her graveyard using muldruthas ability to do so. I then in response exile the creature he is attempting to cast with Necrogenesis.
Does this stop the creature from being cast and is the mana used for the spell?

It's the fact that they're cast directly from the graveyard that stops you. For instance, if Havengul Lich's activated ability was used, you could exile the Sage in response - before the ability's resolved and he has the opportunity to play the Sage. But with Muldrotha, he has to pay the card's mana cost and put it on the stack as part of announcing that he's casting it.
It would be no different from trying to use Funeral Charm to make a player discard a spell in response to them casting it - by the time you do, it's no longer in their hand.

Since the active player has the priority, once he/she cast it it will be in the stack and no longer be in the graveyard by the time you activate Necrogenesis.
