If only the back face is a land, you may cast the front face. If both faces are lands, you will put onto the battlefield front face up.

  Putting a land onto the battlefield does not count as playing a land for the turn and doesn’t use the normal timing restrictions.

• 2021-04-16

  Some effects instruct you to copy an instant or sorcery card in a zone other than the stack. These copies do not cause magecraft abilities to trigger. However, most effects that do this also allow you to cast the copy, and casting the copy will cause magecraft abilities to trigger.

  You may activate Jadzi’s activated ability only while Jadzi is on the battlefield. If Jadzi is no longer on the battlefield as the ability resolves, it won’t return her to your hand from any other zone.

• 2021-04-16

  You may choose not to cast a nonland card revealed by Jadzi’s triggered ability. If you don’t cast it, it stays on top of your library.
