Stars here refers to divination readings, eg. cruel fate

on 01 Oct 2026 by SecretInfiltrator:

Since the card is supposed to be cast from exile there is no need to use complicated "if"-wording:

  • "When this card is exiled from" etc.

Also: "2 life"

Actually... you go quite out of your way to make the player pay a cost, then cast the spell without paying a cost. Could this just be a triggered ability that allows to directly cast it from exile by paying an additional N life?
