See the Unwritten, how you work?

Asked by Apex_Promethean 8 years ago

If I cast See the Unwritten and get Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, will I be able to exile 2 permanents? And same question with Conduit of Ruin.

If I pull 2 Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and have a creature with 4 power, will I be able to exile 4 but have to sacrifice one of them?

1) No, you do not get to exile two permanents.
Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger specifically says "When you cast [Ulamog], exile", where See the Unwritten says "You may put a creature card", and does not say the word "cast". Same with Conduit of Ruin.
2) Read above , you would not get exile triggers, and one Ulamog would simply be sacrificed due to the "Legend Rule"

Note that the legend rule does not cause you to sacrifice anything. The extra permanent is put into its owner's graveyard. This is not destruction, nor is it sacrifice.
