What it does

Sketch and Lore — 2, T: Target opponent exiles cards from the top of their library until they exile an instant, sorcery, or creature card. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost. If you cast a creature spell this way, it gains haste and "At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice this creature." Activate only as a sorcery.

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2025-06-06

    If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell.

  • 2025-06-06

    You cast the card while Strago and Relm's ability is resolving and still on the stack. You can't wait to play it later in the turn. Timing restrictions based on its types are ignored.

  • 2025-06-06

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

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Strago and Relm

2 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 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 Strago and Relm. It runs a name search across every version, which covers 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.
