{X}, {T}: Copy the exiled card. You may cast the copy without paying its mana cost. X is the mana value of the exiled card.
Watch Out
ETB trigger, not a cast triggerRules Note
This card's ability triggers when it enters the battlefield, not when it's cast. Effects that double ETB triggers (like Panharmonicon) work here. Countering the spell prevents the creature from entering, so the ETB won't fire.
