bituminous blast (cascade problem actually)

[Black Mass]

Bituminous blast is an instant, if I play Bituminous blast in my opponents turn and while I cascade I flip a creature or sorcery, can I play this creature of sorcery?

Many people around me say I can, but wouldn't that be an illegal play because the card doesn't say so?

[Valtrix]

You can play it, because cascade tells you that you may play the card. Cascade doesn't care about what type of spell you flip into, because it's specifically telling you that you can play it.

Yes you can play it.

From the rules:


502.85 - Cascade
502.85a - Cascade is a triggered ability that functions only while the spell with cascade is on the stack. "Cascade" means "When you play this spell, remove cards from the top of your library from the game until you remove a nonland card whose converted mana cost is less than this spell's converted mana cost. You may play that card without paying its mana cost. Then put all cards removed from the game this way that weren't played on the bottom of your library in a random order." [CompRules 2009/05/01]
502.85b - If a spell has multiple instances of cascade, each triggers separately. [CompRules 2009/05/01]
502.85.Ruling.1 - The timing works out so that you first play the spell, then Cascade triggers and goes on the stack on top of the spell you played. The Cascade ability resolves, and if you choose to play the card it finds, that spell goes on the stack on top of the original spell. Then the new spell resolves. And finally, the original spell resolves. [Alara Reborn FAQ 2009/04/30]
502.85.Ruling.2 - You must remove cards from the top of your deck and then put them back on the bottom of your deck even if you know there is nothing you want to play. This isn't optional. The only optional part is whether or not you play the card that you find. [Alara Reborn FAQ 2009/04/30]
502.85.Ruling.3 - Cascade will not trigger when you put a copy of a spell on the stack. This is because copies are not "played", so even if the copy has Cascade, it won't trigger. [Alara Reborn FAQ 2009/04/30]
502.85.Ruling.4 - Countering the original spell will not counter the Cascade ability. [Alara Reborn FAQ 2009/04/30]
502.85.Ruling.5 - The cards removed by Cascade are revealed to all players. [Alara Reborn FAQ 2009/04/30]
502.85.Ruling.6 - The card played during the resolution of Cascade ignores timing rules about when that card could be played (for example, you can play a Sorcery even though the stack isn't empty or even if it isn't your turn), but any other restrictions on when the card can be played (such as if it explicitly says "Play only before attackers are declared") still must be obeyed. [Alara Reborn FAQ 2009/04/30]
502.85.Ruling.7 - If you choose not to play the spell or are unable to play it, then simply shuffle it into the other removed cards prior to putting them on the bottom of your library. [Alara Reborn FAQ 2009/04/30]
502.85.Ruling.8 - The card played via Cascade is played from the "removed from the game" zone and not from the library. [Alara Reborn FAQ 2009/04/30]
502.85.Ruling.9 - When you play a card without paying its mana cost, you any X in its cost must be zero and you cannot use alternate costs (such as with Morph), but you can pay optional additional costs, such as Conspire. [Alara Reborn FAQ 2009/04/30]
502.85.Ruling.10 - The spell played via Cascade is in all ways a normal spell, so it can be countered, any Cascade ability it has will trigger, and so on. [Alara Reborn FAQ 2009/04/30]
502.85.Ruling.11 - If you have no cards in your library that Cascade can legally find, then your whole library will be remove from the game, shuffled, then put back. Since the shuffle happens in the "removed from the game" zone, it does not count as shuffling your library for anything that cares about such. [Alara Reborn FAQ 2009/04/30]

Thanks, I checked the rules, but must have overlooked it.

[ScatmanX]

I haven´t found the anweser in the FAQ, so I think I can ask in this topic:

I play Bituminous Blast in a creature. In response, the opponent kills the creature.
The cascaded spell gets to resolve, once it already was on the stack, right?

[heroicraptor]

Correct. Cascade works exactly the same as Storm in that respect.
