- WWizards of the Coast2020-01-24Official RulingEscape's permission doesn't change when you may cast the spell from your graveyard.
- WWizards of the Coast2020-01-24Official RulingUro's effect doesn't count as playing a land. It can put a land card onto the battlefield even if it's not your turn or if you've already played your land for the turn.
- WWizards of the Coast2020-01-24Official RulingOnce you begin casting a spell with escape, it immediately moves to the stack. Players can't take any other actions until you're done casting the spell.
- WWizards of the Coast2020-01-24Official RulingIf you cast a spell with its escape permission, you can't choose to apply any other alternative costs or to cast it without paying its mana cost. If it has any additional costs, you must pay those.
- WWizards of the Coast2020-01-24Official RulingAfter an escaped spell resolves, it returns to its owner's graveyard if it's not a permanent spell. If it is a permanent spell, it enters the battlefield and will return to its owner's graveyard if it dies later. Perhaps it will escape again—good underworld security is so hard to come by these days.
- WWizards of the Coast2020-01-24Official RulingUro's first ability causes you to sacrifice it if you didn't cast it, or if it was cast using any permission other than an escape ability.
- WWizards of the Coast2020-01-24Official RulingUro's second ability triggers when it enters the battlefield, even if it didn't escape.
- WWizards of the Coast2020-01-24Official RulingTo determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as an escape cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was and no matter whether an alternative cost was paid.
- WWizards of the Coast2020-01-24Official RulingIf a card has multiple abilities giving you permission to cast it, such as two escape abilities or an escape ability and a flashback ability, you choose which one to apply. The others have no effect.
- WWizards of the Coast2020-01-24Official RulingIf a card with escape is put into your graveyard during your turn, you'll be able to cast it right away if it's legal to do so, before an opponent can take any actions.

- Wizards of the Coast2020-09-28Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath was banned in standard on September 28, 2020. Early data and results from events this past weekend have shown that multicolor ramp decks featuring Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath are a problem in the new post-rotation metagame. This weekend's events underscored that the Four-Color Omnath decks are dominating early play, and that even the decks built to try to beat those decks utilized the powerful titan. In order to weaken these post-rotation ramp strategies, we're choosing to ban Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath in Standard.
