# Taster of Wares
- **Mana Cost:** `{2}{B}` (CMC: 3)
- **Type:** Creature — Goblin Warlock

## Oracle Text
When this creature enters, target opponent reveals X cards from their hand, where X is the number of Goblins you control. You choose one of those cards. That player exiles it. If an instant or sorcery card is exiled this way, you may cast it for as long as you control this creature, and mana of any type can be spent to cast that spell.

## Official Rulings
- *(2025-11-17)* The value of X is calculated only once, as Taster of Wares's ability resolves.
- *(2025-11-17)* You pay all costs and follow all timing rules for cards cast this way. For example, if the exiled card is a sorcery card, you may cast it only during your main phase while the stack is empty.
