Official rulings
Three official rulings apply to Advanced Reconstruction, newest first.
- To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions (such as that of Advanced Reconstruction's level 3 ability). The mana value of the spell is determined by only its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast that spell was.
- If multiple cards leave your graveyard at the same time, Advanced Reconstruction's level 2 ability will trigger only once.
- You pay all costs and follow all timing rules for cards played this way. For example, if the exiled card is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty and only if you have an available land play remaining.
