Spawn of Mayhem Rules Text & Legality
Spectacle {1}{B}{B} (You may cast this spell for its spectacle cost rather than its mana cost if an opponent lost life this turn.)

Spawn of Mayhem Rulings
- Jan 12, 2024 A card's spectacle cost is the same no matter how much life your opponents lost or how many opponents lost life.
- Jan 12, 2024 Damage dealt to a player causes that player to lose that much life.
- Jan 12, 2024 In a multiplayer game, if an opponent loses life and later that turn leaves the game, you can cast a spell for its spectacle cost. (If a player leaves the game during their turn, that turn continues without an active player.)
- Jan 12, 2024 Spectacle cares only that an opponent lost life during the turn, not that the opponent's life total is currently lower than it was. For example, if an opponent loses 1 life and then gains 2 life in the same turn, you can cast a spell for its spectacle cost that turn.
- Jan 12, 2024 Spectacle doesn't change when you can cast the spell. For example, you can't cast a sorcery with spectacle during an opponent's turn unless another effect allows you to do so, even if that player has lost life this turn.
