Xander's Pact {4}{B}{B}

Rulings
  • 2022-04-29 Casualty N means "As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice a creature with power N or greater." and "When you cast this spell, if a casualty cost was paid for it, copy it. If the spell has any targets, you may choose new targets for the copy."
  • 2022-04-29 If a spell has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
  • 2022-04-29 If you cast a spell for another cost "rather than pay its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs such as a blitz cost. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as a casualty cost. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast it.
  • 2022-04-29 If you pay the casualty cost of a spell, the copy will resolve before the original spell.
  • 2022-04-29 The copy of the spell is created on the stack, so it's not "cast." Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger.
  • 2022-04-29 You may sacrifice only one creature to pay a spell's casualty cost, and you copy the spell only once.
