Jump-Start is a keyword ability on instants and sorceries that allows the player to play the spell directly from their graveyard for the additional cost of discarding a card. It was introduced in Guilds of Ravnica for the Izzet League of Ravnica.[1] The spell card is exiled when the spell leaves the stack.[2]

Description

Jump-Start is similar to Flashback, allowing you to cast the same spell twice. This is especially functional in the late game, when the additional cost can be paid with excess lands or other less valuable cards.

Rules

Rulings

  • Casting a spell with jump-start follows all the normal timing rules, so sorceries with jump-start are still limited to your main phases.
  • A spell with jump-start that was cast from your graveyard can still be countered, and if it has targets, it won't do anything if all its targets disappear or otherwise become illegal.
  • After a spell with jump-start cast from your graveyard resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in any way, it's exiled.
