Title: Copies + Additional costs
Post by: Destore117 on October 10, 2014, 09:15:08 PM
If I were to copy a card
Let's say something like oh idk
{Tormenting Voice}
With {Reverberate}
Would I have to discard another card for the copy?
I don't think so cuz you don't cast copies (except for things like Cipher)
But anyways yeah

Do you have to pay additional costs if you copy a spell?

You have already copied the spell, so you no longer get the opportunity to pay alternative casting costs, such as discarding a card.

In this case it's not optional, but if you copy a card with {reverberate} you needn't pay any costs of the original spell.

Damnit! I had a few opportunities to do exactly that with {howl of the horde} but I  didn't because I thought you had to discard a card each time. Gotta remember that one
