Where do cards go after you rebound them?
Asked by mrfr1day 9 years ago
Graveyard or exile?
*Also if a card exiles it self after casting (Ex. Newly spoiled, "Part the water veil") what happens if i give it rebound via Narset Transcendent?

Worth mentioning that your second question is in the Gatherer Rulings for Narset Transcendent.
2/25/2015: If a spell that exiles itself as part of its own resolution, such as Volcanic Vision, gains rebound, the ability that lets you cast the spell again wont be created. The spell will simply be exiled.
Please always check Gatherer rulings before asking a question in the Q&A.

So
When a card with rebound is cast the first time, it goes to the exile zone. It will then then be cast from the exile zone next upkeep, and, since nothing tells the spell to do anything differently this time (rebound exiles the spell only if cast from hand), it will just do what instants and sorceries do normally after they are cast - go to the graveyard.
Cards like Time Reversal don't quite work with rebound. What the ability on Narset Transcendent does is adding an extra bit of text that says "rebound" at the end of the text of your instant. By the time rebound tries to apply, the spell has already exiled itself and can't exile the card to cast it later - so giving the spell rebound doesn't really do anything.
