Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

In some unusual situations, you may lose control of Imoti during the process of casting a spell with mana value 6 or greater. In those situations, that spell won't have cascade.

Wizards of the Coast 10 Nov 2020

Once you announce that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished casting it. Causing Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty to leave the battlefield after a spell with mana value 6 or greater has been cast won't stop that spell's cascade ability from resolving.

Wizards of the Coast 18 Jun 2021

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

Wizards of the Coast 18 Jun 2021

Cascade triggers when you cast the spell, meaning that it resolves before that spell. If you end up casting the exiled card, it will go on the stack above the spell with cascade.

Wizards of the Coast 18 Jun 2021

Due to a 2021 rules change to cascade, not only do you stop exiling cards if you exile a nonland card with lesser mana value than the spell with cascade, but the resulting spell you cast must also have lesser mana value. Previously, in cases where a card's mana value differed from the resulting spell, such as with some modal double-faced cards or cards with an Adventure, you could cast a spell with a higher mana value than the exiled card.

Wizards of the Coast 18 Jun 2021

If a spell with cascade is countered, the cascade ability will still resolve normally.

Wizards of the Coast 18 Jun 2021

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

Wizards of the Coast 18 Jun 2021

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

Wizards of the Coast 18 Jun 2021

The mana value of a split card is determined by the combined mana cost of its two halves. If cascade allows you to cast a split card, you may cast either half but not both halves.

Wizards of the Coast 18 Jun 2021

When the cascade ability resolves, you must exile cards. The only optional part of the ability is whether or not you cast the last card exiled.

Wizards of the Coast 18 Jun 2021

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