Three Steps Ahead Rulings
- Apr 12, 2024
Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied permanent will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any “as [this permanent] enters the battlefield” or “[this permanent] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the copied permanent will also work.

Each additional cost and associated mode in the text box is also preceded with a + indicator. These symbols also have no rules meaning and serve only to remind players that the listed costs are additional costs.
- Apr 12, 2024
If a mode requires a target, you can select that mode only if there’s a legal target available. Ignore the targeting requirements for modes you don’t choose.
- Apr 12, 2024
If a spell with spree is copied, the effect that creates the copy may allow you to choose new targets. You cannot choose new modes.
- Apr 12, 2024
