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.

  • Apr 12, 2024

    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

    If all targets for the chosen modes become illegal before a spell with spree resolves, the spell won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. If at least one target is still legal, the spell will resolve but will have no effect on any illegal targets.
