Miracle rules
Asked by Krosan 12 years ago
I've had many arguments about cards with miracle cost. Specifically Reforge the Soul do you have to discard your hand right away or are you able to play the rest of your hand regardless of type i.e. instant, creature. Assuming you are the player that played Reforge the Soul
mafteechr Where are those rules?? I'm new and just exploring still. Thank you so from my understanding no creatures could be played unless they had flash.

Correct.
I suggest reviewing the Basic Rulebook (available here). If you require more detailed rules, the Comprehensive Rulebook is available here.

You're correct about the creatures. Basically, when you draw a miracle card, if you want to cast it for its miracle cost, you reveal it and put the miracle ability on the stack. You can respond to that ability. Then, when the ability resolves, you may cast the miracle spell for its miracle cost. If you do, the spell goes onto the stack and you can again respond to it. Note that you still observe the timing restrictions of spells and abilities you cast/activate in response to the miracle ability and spell.

Review the Miracle rules:
702.92a Miracle is a static ability linked to a triggered ability (see rule 603.10). "Miracle [cost]" means "You may reveal this card from your hand as you draw it if it's the first card you've drawn this turn. When you reveal this card this way, you may cast it by paying [cost] rather than its mana cost."
When you draw the Miracle card, you may reveal it, then it's triggered ability goes on the stack. You may play instants or activate abilities at this time. Then the triggered ability resolves, and you have the option to cast the Miracle card or not. If you cast it, then it goes on the stack and will resolve. Otherwise, it remains in your hand.
