Rulings
- April 16, 2021 — Playing the exiled card follows all normal timing restrictions.
- April 16, 2021 — If the exiled card is a modal double-faced card and its back face is a land, its owner may play it as a land. (Note that if the front face is also a land, you couldn’t have exiled it to begin with.)
