Rush of Dread

Apr 12, 2024 · You choose the modes as you cast the spell with spree. Once modes are chosen, they can’t be changed.

Apr 12, 2024 · You can’t choose the same mode more than once.

Apr 12, 2024 · Like the effects of all modal spells, Rush of Dread’s effects happen in order. If the first two modes target different opponents, the opponent targeted by the second mode will see what the first opponent sacrificed before choosing what to discard.

Apr 12, 2024 · No matter which modes you choose, you always follow the instructions in the order they are written.

Apr 12, 2024 · 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.

Apr 12, 2024 · No player can cast spells or activate abilities in between the modes of a resolving spell. Any abilities that trigger won’t be put onto the stack until the spell is done resolving.

Apr 12, 2024 · The mana value of a spell with spree is determined only by its mana cost (in the upper right corner of the card). It doesn’t matter which modes you choose or which additional costs you pay, including any additional costs imposed by other effects.

Apr 12, 2024 · If an effect allows you to cast a spell with spree “without paying its mana cost,” you must still choose at least one mode and pay the associated additional costs.

If a mode requires a target, you can select that mode only if there’s a legal target available. Ignore the targeting requirements for modes you don’t choose.
