Cards/Shards of Alara/Brilliant Ultimatum
Brilliant Ultimatum
Sorcery
Oracle Text
Exile the top five cards of your library. An opponent separates those cards into two piles. You may play lands and cast spells from one of those piles. If you cast a spell this way, you cast it without paying its mana cost.
Revealing the truth only deepened Tezzeret's curiosity for the secrets still buried.

The cards are exiled face up.
The cards in the pile that wasn’t chosen remain exiled. Likewise, any cards in the chosen pile that you can’t play or you choose not to play remain exiled.
If you cast a card “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t pay any alternative costs. You can pay additional costs, such as conspire costs and kicker costs.
