UnCommander Rulings
Note that no player may normally change the order of cards in a graveyard unless instructed to, see 404.2. in the official Comprehensive Rules (10/5/2018)
The top card of a graveyard is the one that was put there most recently (from Circling vultures Gatherer ruling 04/01/2008)
If you choose to play the revealed card, you play it as part of the resolution of Imhotep’s ability. Timing restrictions based on the card’s type (such as creature or sorcery) are ignored. Other play restrictions are not (such as “Cast [this card] only during combat”). The spells you cast this way will then resolve.(from Brilliant Ultimatum Gatherer ruling 10/01/2008)
The normal restrictions for playing lands are in effect, so usually you can’t play a land card with Imhotep’s ability as combat damage is normally done in your combat phase, not a main phase.
