Gift a card (You may promise an opponent a gift as you cast this spell. If you do, they draw a card before its other effects.) Target opponent reveals their hand. You choose a nonland card from it. Exile that card. If the gift was promised, you may cast that card for as long as it remains exiled, and mana of any type can be spent to cast it.

Rulings (9)

For permanent spells with gift, an ability triggers when that permanent enters if the gift was promised. When that ability resolves, the gift is given to the appropriate opponent.

If you copy a spell for which the gift was promised, the gift was also promised to the same opponent for the copy. If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent that's already on the battlefield, the gift isn't promised for that new permanent, even if it was promised for the original.

You pay all costs and follow all timing rules for a spell cast this way. For example, if the exiled card is a sorcery, you may cast it only during your main phase while the stack is empty.
