    Rules

  • If the card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
  • If you cast a card "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs, such as emerge costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as escalate costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.
  • If you cast an instant or sorcery card this way, it goes to its owner's graveyard as normal. It doesn't return to exile.
  • If you cast the card this way, it will resolve before the spell that caused Mind's Dilation's ability to trigger.
  • If you cast the exiled card, you do so as part of the resolution of Mind's Dilation's ability. You can't wait to cast it later in the turn. Timing permissions based on the card's type are ignored, but other restrictions (such as "Cast [this card] only during combat") are not.
  • If you don't cast the card, perhaps because you choose not to or because it's a land card, it remains exiled.

    Whenever an opponent casts their first spell each turn, that player exiles the top card of their library. If it's a nonland card, you may cast it without paying its mana cost.

    Search target opponent's library for a card and exile it face down. Then that player shuffles. You may play that card for as long as it remains exiled.

    Kicker

    Rules

  • If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
  • If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
  • If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked. If the copied spell is a permanent spell, the token the copy of that spell becomes when it enters is also kicked.
  • If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.
  • The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
  • To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

    Kicker (You may pay an additional as you cast this spell.) Search target player's library for up to three cards, exile them, then that player shuffles. If this spell was kicked, instead search that player's library for up to fifteen cards, exile them, then that player shuffles.

    Surveil

    Rules

  • You surveil 1 even if the opponent doesn't discard a card, perhaps because they had no cards in hand at all.
  • Some spells that instruct you to surveil require targets. You can't cast a spell without choosing legal targets. If all of those targets become illegal, the spell doesn't resolve and you won't surveil.
  • You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, you'll surveil last. For others, you'll surveil and then perform other actions.

    Target opponent reveals their hand. You choose a nonland card from it. That player discards that card. Surveil 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put it into your graveyard.)
