Warp

Keywords · intermediate

Warp is an alternative cost that lets you cast a card cheaply now, at the price of it getting exiled at end of turn with a chance to cast it again later.

How it works

• Warp [cost] lets you cast the card from your hand for that cost instead of its mana cost.
• If you paid the warp cost, the permanent it becomes is exiled at the beginning of the next end step.
• Its owner may cast it again from exile on a later turn, for as long as it stays there.

Rules notes

• Casting for the warp cost follows the normal rules for alternative costs, so the card is still cast and cast triggers still fire.
• A card sitting in exile from warp is called "warped." Some effects check whether a spell "was warped this turn," meaning it was cast for its warp cost that turn.
