Deadly Cover-Up rulings

2024-02-02
Unlike many other effects of this kind, Deadly Cover-Up allows its controller to exile a basic land.
2024-02-02
If you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all.
2024-02-02
Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from collecting evidence.

Deadly Cover-Up keyword rules

Collect evidence Rule 701.57

To “collect evidence N” means to exile any number of cards from your graveyard with total mana value N or greater.

If a player is given the choice to collect evidence but is unable to exile cards with total mana value N or greater from their graveyard (usually because there aren’t enough cards to do so) they can’t choose to collect evidence.

A spell that has an ability that allows a player to collect evidence as an additional cost to cast it may have another ability that refers to whether evidence was collected. These abilities are linked. See rule , “Linked Abilities.”
