Rulings

For example, if you exile a sorcery card, you can cast it only during your main phase when the stack is empty. If you exile a land card, you can play it only during your main phase and only if you have an available land play remaining.

- 2019-01-25 · wotc — Damage dealt to a player causes that player to lose that much life.
