    Rules

  • If the card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
  • If you can't cast a card, perhaps because there are no legal targets available, or if you choose not to cast it, it will be put into your graveyard.
  • If you cast a card "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those to cast the card.
  • When casting an instant or sorcery card this way, ignore timing restrictions based on the card's type. Other timing restrictions, such as "Cast [this card] only during combat," must be followed.
  • You cast the cards one at a time, choosing modes, targets, and so on. The last card you cast will be the first one to resolve.

    Split
    Rank:

    Rules

  • A split card's characteristics are a combination of its two halves while it is not on the stack. For example, Assault // Battery has a mana value of 5 while it is in your library. If an effect allows you to search your library for a card with mana value 4 or less, you can't find Assault // Battery.
  • Each split card has two names. If an effect instructs you to choose a card name, you may choose one of those names, but not both.
  • Each split card is a single card. For example, if you discard a split card, you've discarded one card, not two. If an effect counts the number of sorcery cards in your graveyard, Assault // Battery counts once, not twice.
  • If an effect allows you to cast a spell with certain characteristics, consider only the characteristics of the half you're casting. For example, if an effect allows you to cast a sorcery spell with mana value 2 or less from among cards in your graveyard, you could cast Assault this way, but not Battery.
  • If you copy a spell that's half of a split card, the copy copies that same half. For example, if you copy Assault, the copy is also Assault, not Battery.
  • Split cards have two card faces on a single card. The characteristics of the half you didn't cast are ignored while the spell is on the stack.
  • To cast a split card, choose one of its halves to cast. There's no way to cast both halves of this split card.
  • Any choices made as a spell resolves won't have been made yet once it's copied. Any such choices will be made separately as the copy resolves.
  • Expansion can copy any instant or sorcery spell with an appropriate mana value, not just one with targets.
  • If a spell has {X} in its mana cost, include the value chosen for that X when determining the mana value of that spell.
  • If one of Explosion's two targets becomes illegal, the other is affected as appropriate.
  • If the spell has damage divided as it was cast, the division can't be changed (although the targets receiving that damage still can). The same is true of spells that distribute counters.
  • If the spell that's copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast (like Banefire does), the copy will have the same value of X.
  • If the spell that's copied is modal (that is, it says "Choose one —" or the like), the copy will have the same mode or modes. You can't choose different ones.
  • If you copy a spell, you control the copy. It will resolve before the original spell does.
  • The controller of a copy can't choose to pay any alternative or additional costs for the copy. However, effects based on any alternative or additional costs that were paid for the original spell are copied as though those same costs were paid for the copy.
  • The copy is created on the stack, so it's not "cast." Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger.
  • The copy will have the same targets as the spell it's copying unless you choose new ones. You may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. If, for one of the targets, you can't choose a new legal target, then it remains unchanged (even if the current target is illegal).

    Storm

    Rules

  • If the card is not played by end of turn, it remains exiled until end of game.
  • The card is face-up when exiled.
  • A copy of a spell can be countered like any other spell, but it must be countered individually. Countering a spell with storm won't affect the copies.
  • Spells cast from zones other than a player's hand and spells that were countered are counted by the storm ability.
  • The copies are put directly onto the stack. They aren't cast and won't be counted by other spells with storm cast later in the turn.
  • The triggered ability that creates the copies can itself be countered by anything that can counter a triggered ability. If it is countered, no copies will be put onto the stack.
