Rulings4

4/16/2021·wotc

You may choose not to discard any cards as Illuminate History resolves. In that case, you will not draw any cards, but you might still create a Spirit.

4/16/2021·wotc

Lesson is a spell subtype found on some instant and sorcery cards in the Strixhaven set. The Lesson subtype has no special rules associated with it.

4/16/2021·wotc

Illuminate History will stay on the stack until it is finished resolving, so it will not count itself as one of the cards in your graveyard.
