Thunder Magic Rulings

5 most recent
  • Jun 6, 2025 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.
  • Jun 6, 2025 If a spell with tiered is copied, the effect that creates the copy may allow you to choose new targets. You cannot choose a new mode.
  • Jun 6, 2025 If an effect allows you to cast a spell with tiered "without paying its mana cost," you must still choose exactly one mode and pay the associated additional cost.
  • Jun 6, 2025 The mana value of a spell with tiered is determined only by its mana cost (in the upper right corner of the card). It doesn't matter which mode you choose or which additional costs you pay, including any additional costs imposed by other effects.
  • Jun 6, 2025 You choose the mode as you cast the spell with tiered. Once the mode is chosen, it can't be changed.
