Ruleings ; "You do pay any additional costs for that spell. You can't use any alternative costs."
What about kicker? into the roill? im shure the ruleings used to mention it, but im unsure now wether ive bin a cheatyface. in my defense, i onley started useing 'roill after the first game with terorr. that was horible for my oponent AND myself. bounce seemed fairer (said a suspected cheatyface). im shure theres been a revision, thogh im not shure if 'roill still works. " you DO pay aditional costs"? sounds almost like it forces you to pay kicker. thats unlikely. any help here would be very much apriciated, thanks.

Surprised no one mentioned the most obvious win combo ever.
Turn 1: Any land + sol ring (or some other way to ramp to an extra 2). Cast Isochron and exile timewalk before your opponent could possibly counter it.
Turn 2: Get a free turn.
Free turn: Get a free turn
Free Turn: Get a free turn
.........
EDIT: Forgot force of will to counter, of course. But I also failed to include other dream draws. Black lotus or 2 moxen and you can start getting infinite turns on turn 1.....

This card is just broken, really. Playing against it isn't fun. A fixed version was printed in M14 in the form of Elite Arcanist.
It's an extremely powerful card, though.
5/5

with all the fun / broken spells they ban in modern you'd think this would be one of them. i'm breaking into the modern scene from legacy and i came across these in my trade book. thought to myself, 'there is no way Wiz would let this fly in modern.'
*picks jaw off floor* time to start deck building :D

A little game evolution fact. Check for example Throne of Bone's wording between 5th edition and 6th. Then check all versions of this.
Now try to find all articles from net that tells you why "cast" was bad word and was changed to "play" and then why "play" was bad word and was changed back to "cast".
I'm getting the feeling that Wizards no longer know what they are doing.
P.S. This is uncommon in Mirrodin, which means that every booster pack has certain probabilty to contain this, the probability being smaller than for any given rare but larger than for any given common in Mirrodin. But now, if you buy FTV: Relics or DD: Izzet vs. Golgari you get this card automatically, so you cannot talk about any probability based rarity of it in those sets at all.
In fact the FTV: Relics version is as rare as any other card in FTV: Relics and the DD: Izzet vs. Golgari version is as rare as most of the other cards in that set, the exception being that there is nine cards (... (see all)

Infinite turns by turn 4 (T2 if you're running black). Isochron Scepter T2 (Exile Final Fortune), Sundial of the Infinite T3, T4 Start the fireworks. Then lose the game because you've just created an infinite loop :)

What if Illusion // Reality was imprinted? Would both effects be usable?

Quicken isn't the best choice, but could prove useful.
Grand Architect to make it free.
