Lurrus+Adventure

Asked by VampDemigod 3 years ago

Can I cast an adventure card’s adventure from the graveyard with Lurrus (assume, for an example, that I’m talking about Flaxen Intruder)?

For future reference, you can link a card's imagine by surrounding the card's name with double brackets ("["). This works sitewide.

To your question though, you can cast an Adventure spell with Lurrus provided that the half that you want to cast is two CMC or less.

There are a couple of important notes, though. In every zone except for the stack when it was cast as an Adventure, an Adventurer card is a creature card with the characteristics of that creature. So, a Flaxen Intruder wouldn't violate Lurrus's Companion restriction as it's CMC is one. Second, there is a legality check when you cast a spell with Lurrus's cast-from-graveyard ability. This happens right after you decided what half of the spell you're casting (as well as stuff, like picking targets). So, you can cast Flaxen Intruder, but you can't cast the other half, Welcome Home. This is similar to how you can cast Stonecoil Serpent for X=2 but not X=3 with Lurrus.

Hope this helps!!

You can only cast the creature version of the adventurer card, and only if it has a converted mana cost of 2 or less. For example, you can cast Flaxen Intruder or Order of Midnight because they're permanent spells with CMC 2 or less, but you can't cast Welcome Home or Alter Fate because they're not permanent spells (and Welcome Home costs way too much). The important rule is the following one:

715.3a When casting an adventurer card as an Adventure, only the alternative characteristics are evaluated to see if it can be cast.

Tylord2894: how did you get the "Welcome Home" auto-card link to work in your post? I can't figure it out. It keeps coming up as "Flaxen Intruder" when I try to do it.

Rhadamanthus, I didn't really. I linked "Flaxen Intruder" and renamed it to "Welcome Home". So inside the brackets, I put "Flaxen Intruder | Welcome Home". I also couldn't figure out how to link the Adventure's name directly.

You can’t link adventures directly. Adventures aren’t real cards, they’re part of other cards. Because they don’t go in the title box, they aren’t even written as a //.

VampDemigod: Answers to your question have been up for a while. Since there don't seem to be any follow-ups or corrections to be made, I marked one of them as the "Accepted answer" so that this topic can move out of the list of unanswered questions. Please remember to take care of this yourself in the future.

I try to avoid choosing my own response when I do this, but in this case it seemed like the most complete answer to the question.

Thanks. I actually can’t, I only use mobile, and for whatever reason the button doesn’t show up until after someone else marks an acceptable answer. I’m sorry that you had to mark it, and that I couldn’t do it myself.

Btw, I did double check that I had remembered correctly, I just went to another open question I have and confirmed that I cannot mark any as accepted.

The other topic you're talking about is a forum thread, so the "Mark as Answer" button wouldn't appear there regardless. The List of Bugs and Feature Requests forum thread is the place to go to report bugs and suggest improvements.
