Rebound

Asked by -Orvos- 6 years ago

If I have Cast Through Time out and I cast Volcanic Vision will volcanic vision have rebound even though it exiled itself as it resolves or does the fact that it exiled itself prevent it from gaining rebound?

The Rebound ability won't get a chance to do anything.

The full rules text of Rebound says "if this spell was cast from your hand, instead of putting it into your graveyard as it resolves, exile it and, at the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast this card from exile without paying its mana cost". The use of the word "instead" means this is a replacement effect (replacing going to the graveyard with going to exile) that also creates a delayed triggered ability (the part starting with "at"). Since Volcanic Vision never starts to try to go to the graveyard as it resolves that means the replacement effect from Rebound can't be applied and the delayed trigger doesn't get created.
