Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast

No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If you can't exile enough cards to meet or exceed the required mana value, you can't choose to collect evidence at all.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
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.
