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. The spell card is exiled when the spell leaves the stack. Jump-Start is similar to Flashback, allowing you to cast the same spell twice.[1] 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.
