Transmute Artifact Rulings
5 most recent
- Jan 1, 2011 The sacrifice of an artifact is an effect of the spell, not a cost, which means it happens as the spell resolves. If Transmute Artifact is countered, you do not have to sacrifice an artifact.
- Oct 4, 2004 Additional mana spent to cover the differences in mana costs is not part of the mana cost of this spell. It is spent during spell resolution.
- Oct 4, 2004 Because the "search" requires you to find a card with certain characteristics, you don't have to find the card if you don't want to.
- Oct 4, 2004 If the chosen artifact costs less than or the same as the sacrificed artifact, you simply put it onto the battlefield without paying any additional costs.
- Oct 4, 2004 The one from the library enters when the spell is resolved, and this does not count as the casting of an artifact.
