Rulings

Official rulings from Wizards of the Coast (4).

• 2023-11-10Once The Belligerent's triggered ability resolves, you can look at the top card of your library whenever you want until end of turn (with one restriction; see below), even if you don't have priority. This action doesn't use the stack. Knowing what that card is becomes part of the information you have access to, just like you can look at the cards in your hand.
• 2023-11-10If the top card of your library changes while you're casting a spell, playing a land, or activating an ability, you can't look at the new top card until you finish doing so. This means that if you cast a spell from the top of your library, you can't look at the next one until you're done paying for that spell.
• 2023-11-10If the top card of your library has an Adventure, you can cast the Adventure spell this way.
• 2023-11-10You must pay all costs and follow all timing rules for spells cast and lands played from the top of your library this way.
