Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Question 6

Dance of the Tumbleweeds ruling (2024-04-12)

Accepted Answer

Spells with spree have a + (plus sign) indicator in the upper right corner of the card frame. This has no rules meaning and serves only to remind players that at least one additional cost is required to cast the spell.

Question 7

Dance of the Tumbleweeds ruling (2024-04-12)

Accepted Answer

Question 8

Question 9

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 11

Dance of the Tumbleweeds ruling (2024-04-12)

Question 12

Dance of the Tumbleweeds ruling (2024-04-12)
