Rulings
- 2021-04-16 · wotc — Serpentine Curve itself is not yet in your graveyard when you determine the value of X.
- 2021-04-16 · wotc — If you own face-down cards in exile, they won’t count toward the value of X, even if you’re allowed to look at them and you know they are instant or sorcery cards.
