# Wild-Magic Sorcerer
- **Mana Cost:** `{3}{R}` (CMC: 4)
- **Type:** Creature — Orc Shaman Sorcerer

## Oracle Text
The first spell you cast from exile each turn has cascade. (When you cast your first spell from exile, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom in a random order.)

## Official Rulings
- *(2021-07-23)* However, if you cast a spell from exile and then later that turn Wild-Magic Sorcerer comes under your control, Wild-Mage Sorcerer won't give cascade to any other spell you cast from exile that turn.
- *(2021-07-23)* The mana value of a split card is determined by the combined mana cost of its two halves. If cascade allows you to cast a split card, you may cast either half but not both halves.
- *(2021-07-23)* Cascade triggers when you cast the spell, meaning that it resolves before that spell. If you end up casting the exiled card, it will go on the stack above the spell with cascade.
- *(2021-07-23)* If you cast a card “without paying its mana cost,” you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those to cast the card.
- *(2021-07-23)* The first spell you cast from exile each turn will have cascade, even if it's not the first spell you've cast that turn.
- *(2021-07-23)* If the card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
