Inspired Idea 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 If a player has more cards in their hand than their maximum hand size during the cleanup step of that player's turn, that player discards until they have that many cards. A player's maximum hand size isn't checked at any time other than their own cleanup step.
- 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 effects modify your hand size, apply them in timestamp order. For example, if you are affected by Null Profusion (an enchantment that sets a player's maximum hand size to two) and then resolve Inspired Idea without paying its cleave cost, your maximum hand size would be zero. However, if Null Profusion entered the battlefield after Inspired Idea resolved, your maximum hand size would be two.
- 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.
