How would Madness interact with Knowledge Pool?

Asked by boneknitter 7 years ago

So I've been going nuts trying to figure out a deck concept to put Knowledge Pool in, and then I stumbled across the Madness ability. So that leaves me wondering how a card with Madness would interact with Knowledge Pool.

Say I have Knowledge Pool and Markov Dreadknight on the field and I activate the dread knight's ability and discard Twins of Maurer Estate, then cast it for its Madness cost. Since it's discarded into exile before it's cast, would it then bypass the pool and hit the battlefield since it's not being cast from my hand?

yes, since it is cast from hand, knowledge pool would not effect it.

Since it is not cast from hand, he means.

Yeah that's right. The Twins are cast from exile so the Pool doesn't trigger. Nice way to get around it actually.

Thanks. Only took me a few months of digging through cards and brainstorming to finally come up with a suitable concept where the pool wouldn't hinder me very much, if at all, while annoying my opponents
