Pantlaza, Sun-Favored

Legendary Creature — Dinosaur

Whenever Pantlaza or another Dinosaur you control enters, you may discover X, where X is that creature's toughness. Do this only once each turn. (Exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card with that mana value or less. Cast it without paying its mana cost or put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom in a random order.)

Rulings

• 2023-11-10

  A spell's mana value is determined only by its mana cost. Ignore any alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, or cost reductions.

• 2023-11-10

  If the discovered card has in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

• 2023-11-10

  If you can't cast the discovered card (perhaps because there are no legal targets for the spell), you'll put it into your hand.

• 2023-11-10

  If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost", you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those to cast it.

• 2023-11-10

  If you discover an adventurer card, split card, or modal double-faced card, you might be able to cast that card with either set of characteristics depending on the effect's discover value. For example, if you discover 4 and reveal Galvanic Giant (an adventurer card from Wilds of Eldraine with a mana value of 4), you could cast Galvanic Giant, but not Storm Reading (its Adventure, which has a mana value of 7). If you discover 7 and reveal Galvanic Giant, you could cast either Galvanic Giant or Storm Reading.

• 2023-11-10

  Once you decide to discover using Pantlaza's ability, that ability will stop triggering for the duration of that turn.

• 2023-11-10

  Some spells and abilities that cause you to discover may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve and you won't discover.

• 2023-11-10

  The mana value of a split card is determined by the combined mana cost of its two halves. If discover allows you to cast a split card, you may cast either half (as long as its mana value is less than or equal to the effect's discover value) but not both halves.

• 2023-11-10

  The value of X is calculated only once, as the ability resolves. If the creature has left the battlefield, use its toughness as it last existed on the battlefield.

• 2023-11-10

  When you discover, you must exile cards. The only optional part of the ability is whether you cast the exiled card or put it into your hand.

• 2023-11-10

  You exile the cards face up. All players will be able to see them.
