I couldn't find anywhere that answered this so I wanted an official answer. Records like the Scroll of Isildur say you play the event as if it were in your hand. Does this mean you have to pay for it separately? Or does it come into play for free? I am leaning towards the former but would like to get official ruling on this before playing with it.

Thanks!

Man! Of course you pay it sepraretely. I dont want to think pay only 1 token to get map (in monosphere deck, sure) and getting for free, mmmmh, for example, Fate and Destiny. It would be super-over-powered.

No no, the answer is: pay for it separately.

He is correct. If you played a card that was in your hand, you'd pay for it.

There are two... "pay" and "put into play". "Play" mean you can play the card as if you are playing it normally, put into play mean you do NOT have to pay for it the card effect is what puts it into play.

Sneak Attack is an example of "put into play"... "play" seams to be usually used to restrict the timing that a card can be payed.. like Dawn Take you

Also while "put into play" triggers "enters play" effects it DOSE NOT trigger "played" effects... like these two examples.

Ok. I figured as much, but wanted to be sure.

Also, response cannot be played as the records are "Action: " so the time of response will be gone before you can use the record's action to play the event.
