If I cast a card with rebound, does it go into exile again with rebound after it is played from exile?

Asked by drhumbra 13 years ago

example is Staggershock . The text says "if you played from your hand" so am I right to assume it only gets played back from exile 1 time after it is played from my hand?

Yes. They added the "if you played it from your hand" clause explicitly to put a two-time limit on Rebound; otherwise it'd be infinite recursion, and that'd be kinda...broken. =p

it also stops the rebound from cascade and other effects like that

anyone know of a spell that will allow you to exile a card instead of putting it into the graveyard, hopefully and enchantment or something that stays on the board? Thereby skipping the "play from your hand" rule and only allowing the "cast from exile" on your next turn. I'm thinking something like this: cast card from hand with rebound, next turn, play card that puts cards in exile instead of graveyard, then recast rebounded spell (all before draw phase).

i can only think of things that let you play certain spells from the grave yard or ones that let you exile grave yards none that let you cast things from exile... sadly when it gets exiled it is gone for good :(

oh well. Thanks for the comments everyone. I was hoping to put something together that would completely exploit the rebound mechanic like I mentioned earlier. I guess it would be unfair :(
