    Escalate

    Rules

  • Additional costs don’t affect a spell’s mana value.
  • Effects that reduce the cost of spells reduce the total cost, including any escalate costs added.
  • If an effect allows you to cast a spell that has escalate without paying its mana cost, you pay escalate costs for that spell if you choose more than one mode.
  • If one target of an escalate spell becomes illegal, the other targets will still be affected. If all of the targets become illegal, the spell won’t resolve.
  • If two of the chosen modes of an escalate spell target a creature, you may choose the same creature for each mode’s target, or choose different creatures. The same is true if the chosen modes target a player (or opponent).
  • The targeted opponent chooses which of their attacking creatures to sacrifice, not you.
  • Untapping an attacking creature doesn’t cause it to be removed from combat.
  • You can’t choose any one mode multiple times.
  • You choose all of your modes at once. You can’t wait to perform one mode’s actions and then decide to choose more modes.

    Abilities/Keywords

    Splice

    Rules

  • A card with a splice ability can’t be spliced onto itself because the spell is on the stack (and not in your hand) when you reveal the cards you want to splice onto it.
  • If all of the spell’s targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen.
  • You choose all targets for the spell after revealing cards you want to splice, including any targets required by the text of any of those cards. You may choose a different target for each instance of the word “target” on the resulting spell.
  • You reveal all cards you intend to splice at the same time. Each individual card can be spliced only once onto any one spell.
