Rulings

  1. 2013-04-15 · wotc — You don't choose a creature card when Scout's Warning resolves. Rather, this sets up a rule that is true for you until the turn ends or until you cast a creature card, even if you cast that creature at a time you normally could.
  2. 2013-04-15 · wotc — If you cast multiple Scout's Warnings on the same turn, they'll all apply to the very next creature spell you cast.
  3. 2013-04-15 · wotc — You cannot use this effect to play Dryad Arbor during an opponent's turn.
  4. 2013-04-15 · wotc — After Scout's Warning resolves, you can suspend a creature card in your hand any time you can cast an instant. As soon as you actually cast a creature card, you lose this capability.
