Card text

Flying, lifelink

You may play lands and cast spells from among cards in your graveyard you've surveilled this turn. If you cast a spell this way, you pay life equal to its mana value rather than paying its mana cost.

Most thought the Dimir had been wiped out. This suited the Dimir perfectly.

Official rulings

Three official rulings apply to Eye of Duskmantle, newest first.

  • You may only cast spells this way by paying the appropriate amount of life. You may not pay their normal costs and may not pay any other alternative costs. You may still pay for additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the spell has mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.
  • If you cast a spell with {X} in its mana cost this way, the only legal choice for X is 0.
