Sep 20, 2024 · If a spell or ability would create a copy of a Room spell on the stack, the copy retains the choice of which door was cast but also retains the full characteristics of the spell.

Sep 20, 2024 · Each Room card has two names. If an effect instructs you to choose a card name, you may choose one of those names, but not both.

Sep 20, 2024 · If an effect allows you to cast a spell with certain characteristics, consider only the characteristics of the door you're casting.
