Alchemist's Gambit Rulings

5 most recent
  • Nov 19, 2021 A cleave cost is an alternative cost that's paid instead of the spell's mana cost. Casting a spell for its cleave cost doesn't change the spell's mana value.
  • Nov 19, 2021 Exiling Alchemist's Gambit happens as part of its resolution. If the spell is countered, it will go to the graveyard as normal.
  • Nov 19, 2021 If an effect allows you to “cast a spell without paying its mana cost,” you can't cast that spell for its cleave cost.
  • Nov 19, 2021 If multiple “extra turn” effects resolve in the same turn, the most recently created turn will be taken first.
  • Nov 19, 2021 If you cast a spell for its cleave cost, that spell doesn't have any of the text in square brackets while it's on the stack.
