    Abilities/Keywords

    Delve

    Rules

  • Because delve isn't an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs, such as flashback. It can also be used to pay for additional costs that include generic mana.
  • Delve doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value. For example, Treasure Cruise's mana value is 8 even if you exiled three cards to cast it.
  • You can exile cards to pay only for generic mana, and you can't exile more cards than the generic mana requirement of a spell with delve. For example, you can't exile more than seven cards from your graveyard to cast Treasure Cruise unless an effect has increased its cost.

    Flying

    Rules

  • As soon as you start to cast Scourge of Nel Toth from your graveyard, it moves to the stack. At that point, it’s too late for an opponent to prevent you from casting it by removing it from your graveyard. It’s also too late for players to try to destroy the creatures you sacrifice to pay for the spell.
  • Casting Scourge of Nel Toth from your graveyard by paying the alternative cost doesn’t change when you can cast it. You can cast it only at the normal time you could cast a creature spell.
  • If you cast Scourge of Nel Toth from your graveyard, it is a spell and can be countered.

    Detain

    Rules

  • Activated abilities include a colon and are written in the form “[cost]: [effect].” No one can activate any activated abilities, including mana abilities, of a detained permanent.
  • If a creature is already attacking or blocking when it’s detained, it won’t be removed from combat. It will continue to attack or block.
  • If a noncreature permanent is detained and later turns into a creature, it won’t be able to attack or block.
  • If a permanent’s activated ability is on the stack when that permanent is detained, the ability will be unaffected.
  • The static abilities of a detained permanent still apply. The triggered abilities of a detained permanent can still trigger.
  • When a player leaves a multiplayer game, any continuous effects with durations that last until that player’s next turn or until a specific point in that turn will last until that turn would have begun. They neither expire immediately nor last indefinitely.

    Deathtouch

    Rules

  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions (such as that of Writhing Necromass). The mana value of the spell is determined by only its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast that spell was.
  • Writhing Necromass’s first ability can’t reduce the {B} in its cost.
