Rules

05/29/14

Effects based on any additional costs that were paid for the original spell will be copied as though those same costs were paid for the copy. For example, if a player exiles three cards from their graveyard to cast Skeletal Scrying, and you copy it, the copy will also cause you to draw three cards and lose 3 life (but you won’t exile any cards from your graveyard).

05/29/14

If duplication gets more votes, Split Decision creates a copy of the spell. You control the copy. That copy is created on the stack, so it’s not “cast.” Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won’t trigger. The copy will resolve like a normal spell, after players get a chance to cast spells and activate abilities.

05/29/14

If the spell being copied is modal (that is, it says “Choose one —” or the like), the copy will have the same mode. You can’t choose a different one.

05/29/14

Players can’t do anything after they finishing voting but before the spell or ability that included the vote finishes resolving.

05/29/14

You must vote for one of the available options. You can’t abstain.
