Spells you cast from anywhere other than your hand cost {1} less to cast.
Whenever Bilbo attacks, you may cast an artifact, instant, or sorcery spell from your graveyard. If an instant or sorcery spell cast this way would be put into your graveyard, exile it instead.

Character Background

Bilbo, Thief in the Night is a classic value-engine engine wrapped in a sneaky tempo body: a 2/2 for two that rewards you for playing from unusual zones and turns every attack into a potential spell recursion trigger. The cost reduction applies to spells cast from anywhere other than your hand, so the best shells are graveyard-centric control or tempo decks that naturally recast cards from the bin, exile, or other alternate-access effects. His attack trigger is especially nasty with cheap artifacts and cantrips, letting you rebuy interaction like removal or card draw while keeping pressure on the board. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair him with self-mill, flashback-style spells, and artifacts that sacrifice themselves for value, since Bilbo effectively turns combat into resource advantage. He fits best in a grindy, evasive blue deck that wants to keep mana open, attack safely, and outlast opponents through repeated low-cost spells rather than raw aggression.
