# Lock and Load
- **Mana Cost:** `{2}{U}` (CMC: 3)
- **Type:** Sorcery
- **Keywords:** Plot

## Oracle Text
Draw a card, then draw a card for each other instant and sorcery spell you've cast this turn.
Plot {3}{U} (You may pay {3}{U} and exile this card from your hand. Cast it as a sorcery on a later turn without paying its mana cost. Plot only as a sorcery.)
