Containment Membrane Rulings

  • Jan 22, 2016

    Casting a spell for its surge cost doesn't change its mana cost or its mana value.

  • Jan 22, 2016

    Containment Membrane can target and be attached to an untapped creature. It just won't have any effect until that creature becomes tapped.

  • Jan 22, 2016

    For some cards, surge represents only an alternative cost, a discount that applies if you or a teammate has cast another spell this turn. Other cards, like Reckless Bushwhacker, have additional abilities or effects if you paid the surge cost to cast the spell.

  • Jan 22, 2016

    If an instant or sorcery spell cast for its surge cost is copied, the copy is also considered to have had its surge cost paid.

  • Jan 22, 2016

    The enchanted creature can still be untapped by other spells and abilities.
