''Paradox'' is an ability word that provides an [[effect]], whenever you [[cast]] a [[spell]] from anywhere but your [[hand]]. This works well with mechanics like [[Escape]], [[Cascade]], [[Flashback]] and [[Retrace]]. Often these abilities are triggered abilities that trigger whenever you do so. Some paradox abilities count the number of spells you've cast from anywhere other than your hand that turn to determine the magnitude of their effects.
