Call Forth the Tempest Rules Text & Legality

Sorcery — mana cost {5}{R}{R}{R}

Cascade, cascade (When you cast this spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom of your library in a random order. Then do it again.)

Call Forth the Tempest deals damage to each creature your opponents control equal to the total mana value of other spells you've cast this turn.

"All was well, until one day they met a thunderstorm—more than a thunderstorm, a thunder-battle."

Call Forth the Tempest is legal in Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern and Pauper.

Call Forth the Tempest Rulings

5 most recent
  • Nov 3, 2023 A spell's mana value is determined only by its mana cost. Ignore any alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, or cost reductions.
  • Nov 3, 2023 Cascade triggers when you cast the spell, meaning that it resolves before that spell. If you end up casting the exiled card, it will go on the stack above the spell with cascade.
  • Nov 3, 2023 Count the mana values of all other spells you've cast this turn before Call Forth the Tempest resolved, including any spells that you've cast due to Call Forth the Tempest's cascade abilities. It doesn't matter whether those spells resolved; you only need to have cast them. Conversely, if you copy a spell without casting it, you won't include that copy's mana value in the amount of damage Call Forth the Tempest deals.
  • Nov 3, 2023 Due to a 2021 rules change to cascade, not only do you stop exiling cards if you exile a nonland card with lesser mana value than the spell with cascade, but the resulting spell you cast must also have lesser mana value. Previously, in cases where a card's mana value differed from the resulting spell, such as with some modal double-faced cards or cards with an Adventure, you could cast a spell with a higher mana value than the exiled card.
  • Nov 3, 2023 Each instance of cascade triggers and resolves separately. The spell you cast due to the first cascade ability will go on the stack on top of the second cascade ability. That spell will resolve before you exile cards for the second cascade ability.
