Exile target creature an opponent controls. That player reveals cards from their sideboard at random until they reveal a nonland card. They may cast that card without paying its mana cost.
Exile target creature an opponent controls. That player reveals cards from their sideboard at random until they reveal a nonland card. They may cast that card without paying its mana cost.
Playtest cards use a modified version of game symbols, such as {T} and {W}. These modified symbols should be treated as the standard symbols during play.
For many playtest cards, you’ll need to make a generous assumption that basic game rules would be updated to allow them to work. The Mystery Booster 2 Playtest Card Notes section (reproduced here in individual Gatherer rulings) provides guidance for fitting these cards into the existing rules structure.
If the target creature’s controller doesn’t have a sideboard, perhaps because you’re playing a format that doesn’t use a sideboard, they won’t reveal or cast anything. (That sounds pretty good!.)
In Limited play, each card in a player’s card pool that isn’t included in their deck is in that player’s sideboard.
Playtest cards aren’t legal for play in any tournament format other than Mystery Booster Limited formats. On the other hand, we expect they will spice up a wide variety of non-tournament games (as long as everyone’s on the same page about using them!).
