CREATURE — AVATAR
Living Lore
As this creature enters, exile an instant or sorcery card from your graveyard.
Living Lore's power and toughness are each equal to the exiled card's mana value.
Whenever this creature deals combat damage, you may sacrifice it. If you do, you may cast the exiled card without paying its mana cost.

- WWizards of the Coast2018-12-07Official RulingSimilarly, if the exiled card somehow leaves exile while Living Lore is on the battlefield, it will become a 0/0 creature.
- WWizards of the Coast2018-12-07Official RulingIf there are no instant or sorcery cards in your graveyard as Living Lore enters the battlefield, it will enter the battlefield as a 0/0 creature and be put into its owner's graveyard due to having 0 toughness.
- WWizards of the Coast2018-12-07Official RulingIf you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, such as that of Tormenting Voice, those must be paid to cast the card.

- WWizards of the Coast2018-12-07Official RulingLiving Lore's last ability will trigger whenever it deals combat damage, no matter if that damage is dealt to an opponent, an opposing planeswalker, or a creature it's blocking or being blocked by. You choose whether to sacrifice Living Lore as that ability resolves. If Living Lore has already left the battlefield, perhaps because it was dealt lethal damage at the same time it dealt damage, you can't sacrifice it.
- WWizards of the Coast2018-12-07Official RulingIf Living Lore leaves the battlefield, the ability that defines its power and toughness will lose track of the exiled card. Its power and toughness are 0 in other zones.
