See Challenge # 157.

Super wordy ability, I know... Tried to incorporate how a spell beast could be born plus the "casting" of their spell upon its death. The colour and mana restrictions is to keep the spell related to the creature and also make it more sensible overall. Was inspired by cascade, champion and hideaway, all of them ways to cast spells for free without giving away what spell it is beforehand.

Would other cards with Spellblast do other things with the exiled cards?

by Gustostückerl:

Had a weird thought process with this. On the one hand, putting the die trigger right int the ability would make it uniform and symbolize their death cast quite well, on the other hand there are so many cool triggers spellbeast could use. So I left it out to enable more variety.

I think all the Common spellbeasts would have a death trigger, but higher and more powerful beast could have totally different triggers.
