Commandeer and Cyclonic Rift interaction
Asked by QuirkyQU33FER 5 years ago
if i were to use Commandeer on someones overloaded Cyclonic Rift do i get the overload effect or just the normal casting cost effect of one no-land permanent
When you gain control of a spell you get that spell just like it was cast. Any choices (such as overload) that need to be done during casting can not be changed unless the spell or effect you used to gain control states you can change them. So mode spells you would gain that spell with the mode already chosen. So Abzan Charm , with the exile creature mode chosen, being commandeered would get you that spell with that mode chosen, Commandeer would only let you choose different target.
The same applies to copying a spell. Fork -ing a spell copies all choices made while being cast. Fork only allows targets to change.

You get the Overload effect. Overload changes the spell's text when it's cast, and changing the spell's controller won't go back and undo that.
