Official rulings

The 8 most recent official rulings for Bring to Light, newest first.

• 2015-08-25 Unless a spell or ability allows you to, you can't choose to pay more mana for a spell with a converge ability just to spend more colors of mana. Likewise, if a spell or ability reduces the amount of mana it costs you to cast a spell with converge, you can't ignore that cost reduction in order to spend more colors of mana.
• 2015-08-25 If you cast the exiled card, you do so as part of the resolution of Bring to Light. You can't wait to cast it later in the turn. Timing restrictions based on the card's type are ignored, but other restrictions (such as "Cast [this card] only during combat") are not.
• 2015-08-25 If you cast an instant or sorcery card this way, it goes to your graveyard as normal. It doesn't return to exile.
• 2015-08-25 The maximum number of colors of mana you can spend to cast a spell is five. Colorless is not a color. Note that the cost of a spell with converge may limit how many colors of mana you can spend.
• 2015-08-25 If you don't cast the card, it remains exiled.
• 2015-08-25 If there are any alternative or additional costs to cast a spell with a converge ability, the mana spent to pay those costs will count. For example, if an effect makes sorcery spells cost {1} more to cast, you could pay {W}{U}{B}{R} to cast Radiant Flames and deal 4 damage to each creature.
• 2015-08-25 If you cast a card "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs, such as awaken costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those to cast the card.
• 2015-08-25 If the card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X.
