Official rulings
- Once you've announced that you're casting a spell, players can't take actions until you've finished doing so. Notably, opponents can't try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from collecting evidence. (2024-02-02)
- Cryptex's first ability is a mana ability. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to. (2024-02-02)
- If you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all. (2024-02-02)
