    Cascade & Tutors

    Just want to confirm my understanding of this interaction.

    Example: I cast Shardless Agent, cascade past Batterskull into Stoneforge Mystic. When the Stoneforge Mystic trigger resolves, are the other cards still exiled, making the Stoneforge Mystic unable to find the Batterskull I cascaded past or are the other cards already back on the bottom of the library, allowing me to find the Batterskull with the trigger?

    Thanks


    EDIT: found my own answer:

    "Cascade is a triggered ability that functions only while the spell with cascade is on the stack. "Cascade" means "When you cast this spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card whose converted mana cost is less than this spell's converted mana cost. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost. Then put all cards exiled from the game this way that weren't cast on the bottom of your library in a random order."

    So I would be unable to find Batterskull if I cascaded past it.

    EDIT 2: I was wrong, the Stoneforge is on the stack but before it resolves the cascade trigger finishes and puts Batterskull back in the deck.

    Whatever you cast off Cascade will be put on the stack, then Cascade will have finished resolving and put the cards on the bottom of the library at that point.

    In all situations the cards return to the library before the Stack will continue to resolve.

    Gotcha, that makes sense. Thanks
