    Draw two cards. Jump-start (You may cast this card from your graveyard by discarding a card in addition to paying its other costs. Then exile this card.)

    "My specialty is theoretical universal limits and ways to circumvent them."

    If an effect allows you to pay an alternative cost rather than a spell's mana cost, you may pay that alternative cost when you jump-start a spell. You'll still discard a card as an additional cost to cast it.

    A spell cast using jump-start will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, it's countered, or it leaves the stack in some other way.

    You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions when casting a spell with jump-start, including those based on the card's type. For instance, you can cast a sorcery using jump-start only when you could normally cast a sorcery.
