Rule 715.3 · Adventurer Cards

As a player plays an adventurer card, the player chooses whether they play the card normally or as an Adventure.

Subrules

When casting an adventurer card as an Adventure, only the alternative characteristics are evaluated to see if it can be cast.

While on the stack as an Adventure, the spell has only its alternative characteristics.

If an Adventure spell is copied, the copy is also an Adventure. It has the alternative characteristics of the spell and not the normal characteristics of the card that represents the Adventure spell. Any rule or effect that refers to a spell cast as an Adventure refers to the copy as well.

Instead of putting a spell that was cast as an Adventure into its owner’s graveyard as it resolves, its controller exiles it. For as long as that card remains exiled, that player may play it. It can’t be cast as an Adventure this way, although other effects that allow a player to cast it may allow a player to cast it as an Adventure.
