5 most recent
- Jan 12, 2024 Any choices made as a spell resolves won't have been made yet once it's copied. Any such choices will be made separately as the copy resolves.
- Jan 12, 2024 Expansion can copy any instant or sorcery spell with an appropriate mana value, not just one with targets.
- Jan 12, 2024 If a spell has {X} in its mana cost, include the value chosen for that X when determining the mana value of that spell.
- Jan 12, 2024 If one of Explosion's two targets becomes illegal, the other is affected as appropriate.
- Jan 12, 2024 If the spell has damage divided as it was cast, the division can't be changed (although the targets receiving that damage still can). The same is true of spells that distribute counters.
