    How it works

    Before you start

    You have a noncreature card in hand with the mana to cast it and applicable target(s) if needed.

    Steps

    Cast the noncreature card by paying its mana cost. Grandmother Goby triggers, attempting to counter the spell. Instead, the spell is exiled and you will cast the spell from exile without paying its mana cost due to Guile. Repeat step 2.
