Primeval Spawn Rulings
- Sep 9, 2022 As long as mana was paid for any cost to cast Primeval Spawn, it enters the battlefield as it resolves. It will not be exiled as it tries to enter the battlefield, even if its cost was reduced or a cost other than its normal mana cost was paid.
- Sep 9, 2022 Conversely, if an effect would cause Primeval Spawn to enter the battlefield as a copy of another permanent, it will enter the battlefield as a copy of that permanent whether or not it was cast or mana was spent to cast it.
- Sep 9, 2022 If Primeval Spawn is exiled by its first ability as it tries to enter the battlefield, it goes directly to the exile zone without entering the battlefield first. Since it never enters or leaves the battlefield, its last ability won’t trigger.
- Sep 9, 2022 If a creature token that is a copy of Primeval Spawn would be put onto the battlefield, it’s put into exile instead and then ceases to exist. Creature tokens are never cast, even if the spell that created them was.
- Sep 9, 2022 If an effect causes a card to enter the battlefield as a copy of Primeval Spawn and that permanent wasn’t cast or no mana was spent to cast it, that card will be exiled instead of entering the battlefield.
