What it does
Exile all creature cards from target player's graveyard. You may cast spells from among those cards for as long as they remain exiled, and mana of any type can be spent to cast them.
Rulings
3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2023-06-16
Shadow of the Enemy uses a new template indicating that you may spend mana as though it were mana of any type to cast the exiled cards. The six types of mana are white, blue, black, red, green, and colorless.
- 2023-06-16
You pay all costs and follow all normal timing rules for spells cast this way.

Snow mana is not a type of mana. Shadow of the Enemy won't let you pay a snow cost using mana produced by a nonsnow source.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

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.
