Way of the Cryomancer Rulings

  • Aug 21, 2026

    Any choices made when the spell resolves won't have been made yet when it's copied. Any such choices will be made separately when the copy resolves.

  • Aug 21, 2026

    Empower Jace won't let you put loyalty counters on nontoken Jace planeswalkers. However, if you control a Jace planeswalker token that you got another way (such as an effect that creates a token that's a copy of a permanent), empower Jace will put loyalty counters on that.

  • Aug 21, 2026

    If the copied spell divides damage or distributes counters among a number of targets, the division and number of targets can't be changed. If you choose new targets, you must choose the same number of targets.

  • Aug 21, 2026

    If the spell that's copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast, the copy has the same value of X.

  • Aug 21, 2026

    If the spell that's copied is modal (that is, it says "Choose one —" or the like), the copy will have the same mode or modes. You can't choose different ones.
