Surge

Keywords · intermediate

Surge is an alternative cost. You may cast a spell with surge for its surge cost if you or a teammate has already cast another spell this turn.

How it works

• If at least one other spell has been cast by you or a teammate this turn, you may pay the surge cost instead of the normal mana cost.
• The surge cost is usually cheaper, rewarding you for playing several spells in a turn.

Rules notes

• Surge checks spells already cast this turn at the moment you begin casting the surge spell.
• It is an alternative cost; the spell's mana value remains its printed mana cost.
