Living Lore
Creature — Avatar
As this creature enters, exile an instant or sorcery card from your graveyard.
Living Lore's power and toughness are each equal to the exiled card's mana value.
Whenever this creature deals combat damage, you may sacrifice it. If you do, you may cast the exiled card without paying its mana cost.

A zone outside the game: not the graveyard; many « from graveyard » effects won’t see it.
A spell you can cast almost whenever you have priority.
Cast only on your turn, main phase, empty stack (unless an effect says otherwise).
Mana value is the TOTAL number of mana in a cost, all colors combined. The cost below needs 4 mana in total, so its mana value is 4.
You put a permanent you control into the graveyard yourself (≠ destroy: indestructible / hexproof usually don’t stop it).
A card's mana cost is printed in its top-right corner: the mana you must gather to cast it. Often a mix of a specific color and “generic” mana (payable with anything), like below.
