Plot abilities are written "Plot [cost]," which means "Any time you have priority during your main phase while the stack is empty, you may pay [cost] and exile this card from your hand. It becomes plotted."

You can't cast a plotted card on the same turn it became plotted. On any future turn, you may cast that card from exile without paying its mana cost during your main phase while the stack is empty.

If a spell is countered or it never resolves, Lilah, Undefeated Slickshot will not exile it.

The spell will have all its normal effects before being exiled. If the spell's normal effects include exiling itself, Lilah's effect won't apply to it and it won't become plotted.

Exiling a card using its plot ability is a special action. Once you announce you're taking that action, no other player can respond by trying to remove that card from your hand.

If a plotted card has in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

If you're casting a plotted card from exile without paying its mana cost, you can't choose to cast it for any other alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the plotted card has any mandatory additional costs, those must still be paid to cast the spell.

If an instant or a card with flash is plotted this way, you can still cast it only when you have priority during your main phase while the stack is empty.
