How exactly does "any time you could cast a sorcery" really work?

Asked by Omniscience_is_life 3 years ago

I was wondering recently: if I have a Vedalken Orrery in play, and a Birthing Pod, can I activate the Pod at instant speed since I Orrery lets me cast sorceries at any time I want?... My guess is no but I want to know! Thanks all.

These cards do not interact. "Any time you could cast a sorcery" is a term of art meaning "you can activate this ability only when the stack is empty and it is your turn." Modifications to when you can cast a sorcery do not change when you can activate "sorcery speed" activated abilities.

It is as I thought. Appreciate it
