Outcaster Trailblazer rulings
Outcaster Trailblazer’s first ability isn’t a mana ability. It uses the stack and can be responded to.
If one or more static abilities that apply to a creature entering the battlefield change its power, those abilities are considered when determining whether or not Outcaster Trailblazer’s second ability triggers. The same is true for replacement effects that apply to it, such as entering the battlefield with one or more +1/+1 counters or entering the battlefield as a copy of another creature.
Once Outcaster Trailblazer’s second ability has triggered, lowering the power of the creature or removing it from the battlefield won’t stop you from drawing a card.
Plot abilities are written “Plot [cost],” which means “Any time you have priority during your main phase while the stack is empty, you may pay [cost] and exile this card from your hand. It becomes plotted.”
Exiling a card using its plot ability is a special action. Once you announce you’re taking that action, no other player can respond by trying to remove that card from your hand.
You can’t cast a plotted card on the same turn it became plotted. On any future turn, you may cast that card from exile without paying its mana cost during your main phase while the stack is empty.
If you’re casting a plotted card from exile without paying its mana cost, you can’t choose to cast it for any other alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the plotted card has any mandatory additional costs, those must still be paid to cast the spell.
If a plotted card has
in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
Outcaster Trailblazer keyword rules
Plot Rule 702.170
Plot is a keyword ability that functions while the card with plot is in a player’s hand. “Plot [cost]” means “Any time you have priority during your main phase while the stack is empty, you may exile this card from your hand and pay [cost]. It becomes a plotted card.”
Exiling a card using its plot ability is a special action, which doesn’t use the stack. See rule , “Special Actions.”
In addition to the plot special action, some spells and abilities cause a card in exile to become plotted.
A plotted card’s owner may cast it from exile without paying its mana cost during their main phase while the stack is empty during any turn after the turn in which it became plotted. Casting a spell this way follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules and –h. A plotted card may be cast this way even if it doesn’t have the plot ability while in exile.
If an effect refers to plotting a card, it means performing the special action associated with a plot ability.
An effect may allow the plot ability of a card to function in a zone other than a player’s hand. In that case, the card is exiled from the zone it is in as the action is taken rather than from its owner’s hand.
