Rulings

Exiling a card using its plot ability is a special action. Once you announce you're taking that action, no other player can respond by trying to remove that card from your hand.

If a card doesn't have a mana cost, its mana value is 0.

If a plotted card has in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

If multiple legendary creatures enter the battlefield under your control at the same time, Kellan Joins Up's last ability will trigger once for each of those creatures.

If the mana cost of a card in your hand includes , X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.

If you're casting a plotted card from exile without paying its mana cost, you can't choose to cast it for any other alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the plotted card has any mandatory additional costs, those must still be paid to cast the spell.

Plot abilities are written "Plot [cost]," which means "Any time you have priority during your main phase while the stack is empty, you may pay [cost] and exile this card from your hand. It becomes plotted."

The mana value of a split card in your hand is based on the combined mana cost of its two halves.

You can't cast a plotted card on the same turn it became plotted. On any future turn, you may cast that card from exile without paying its mana cost during your main phase while the stack is empty.

If an instant or a card with flash is plotted this way, you can still cast it only when you have priority during your main phase while the stack is empty.
