What it does

When Kellan Joins Up enters, you may exile a nonland card with mana value 3 or less from your hand. If you do, it becomes plotted. (You may cast it as a sorcery on a later turn without paying its mana cost.)

Whenever a legendary creature you control enters, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.

Rulings

10 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2024-04-12

    If a card doesn't have a mana cost, its mana value is 0.

  • 2024-04-12

    If the mana cost of a card in your hand includes X, X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.

  • 2024-04-12

    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.

  • 2024-04-12

    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.

  • 2024-04-12

    The mana value of a split card in your hand is based on the combined mana cost of its two halves.

  • 2024-04-12

    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."

  • 2024-04-12

    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.

  • 2024-04-12

    If a plotted card has X in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

  • 2024-04-12

    If multiple legendary creatures enter the battlefield under your control at the same time, Kellan Joins Up's last ability will trigger once for each of those creatures.

  • 2024-06-07

    If an instant or a card with flash is plotted this way, you can still cast it only when you have priority during your main phase while the stack is empty.

4 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Kellan Joins Up — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
