How does Narset, Enlightened Master interact with MDFC's
Asked by Furbs 3 years ago
How exactly does Narset, Enlightened Master interact with the new modal double faced cards? It goes without saying that if the front of the card exiled is a non-creature spell it is able to be cast but what happens if the back is a non-creature spell? Is the back able to be cast in any way with Narset's exiling or is it only the front? I bring this up because with the changes to cascade due to the [Valki, God of Lies]] interaction, it made me wonder how these Modal cards interact with others card effects. Any help would be appreciated.
Narset, Enlightened Master lets you cast noncreature spells from among the exiled cards. As long as the spell your casting is a noncreature spell, such as Tibalt, Cosmic Impostor Flip, you are aloud to cast it, even it it's a creature card like Valki, God of Lies Flip. Similarly, if Bonecrusher Giant is exiled you can cast Bonecrusher Giant. This does require the noncreature spell to be cast normally, not with an alternate cost, so you can't cast Hypnotic Siren using bestow.

Sorry, that was supposed to be you can cast Stomp , you would not be able to cast Bonecrusher Giant .

When they're not on the stack or in play, MDFCs have only the characteristics of their front face. This means that you can only cast cards that are noncreature spells on the front. However, since you cast the cards, you can cast any side of an eligible MDFC that has a spell on it (you can't play lands this way, but you could cast either face of the new Rowan/Will card).
Because of how the existing MDFCs are set up, there aren't many that you can use to cast the back face with Narset. That may change in the future though.
