What are the timing restrictions on abilities for Narset, Enlightened Exile?

Asked by ArmchairRuler 8 months ago

The specific interaction I am unsure about is between Narset, Enlightened Exile and Epistolary Librarian. If I attack with both, am I able to cast a spell (Ex: Environmental Sciences) for free with Epistolary Librarian, allow it to resolve, go to the graveyard, and then retarget that same spell in the graveyard with Narset, Enlightened Exile in the same attack step? I know I can layer the triggers however I choose, but I don't know when the spell technically resolves and goes to the graveyard.

You can't cast a spell off Epistolary Librarian, then recast the same spell off Narset, Enlightened Exile during the same attack. Targets are chosen as the triggers come up, before anything resolves. Even if you stack the triggers so that Librarian resolves first, the chosen spell will not have resolved and moved to the graveyard by the time you need to choose a target for Narset.
