Set Mechanics

If a card with escape is in your graveyard, you can cast it. Escape provides you with an alternative cost with two components: an amount of mana you'll have to pay and a number of other cards you'll have to exile from your graveyard. Escape doesn't change when you can cast the spell. Instants with escape are good to go anytime; the other card types can be cast only during your main phase when the stack is empty.

Elspeth may choose to defy the gods of Theros, but you can instead show your devotion to them and reap their rewards. '"Devotion" is a rules term that counts colored mana symbols in the mana costs of permanents you control to determine the magnitude of their effects.

As an ability word, constellation doesn't have a specific rules meaning. It's used to shine some starlight on abilities that trigger whenever an enchantment enters the battlefield under your control. Each constellation bonus is different.

Every Saga has three chapters, represented by the I, II, and III symbols. Each chapter also has a corresponding effect. For The Flame of Keld, we see that the effect of chapter I is "Discard your hand." The story gets better, I promise. Some Sagas have the same effect for multiple chapters. Instead of that effect being listed more than once, you'll notice that the chapter symbols are just grouped together with the appropriate effect.

Several cards in the Theros Beyond Death set encourage you to be clever and cast spells during your opponent's turn, giving you a reward the first time you do so.

Elspeth isn't the only hero on Theros—far from it! Some creatures are particularly more heroic than others, giving an attack boost to your creatures when you target them.

The pantheon of Theros is mighty, and the very presence of its members will change your game. But if you show enough devotion to the gods of Theros, they'll take a more active hand in fighting beside you.
