Fork + Electrodominance = ?
Asked by theindigoeffect 3 years ago
Can Electrodominance be copied, or does nothing happen, due to the x cost?

Electrodominance can be copied. The value of X for the copy will be the same of the original.
When you copy any spell that has an X defined by a cost (such as Electrodominance or Channeled Force ), the copy will maintain that X value. Note that you are not casting a spell why you copy it, so you don't pay that cost again. Similarly, copying a spell that has you choose modes (ie Izzet Charm ) or a spell that has you divide something (ie Forked Bolt ) will create a copy of that spell with the same decisions. For example, copying an Izzet Charm where you chose the third mode will create a copy that is using the third mode too.
One note about the specific interaction about the titular cards, if you cast Electrodominance with X equaling 2, you can cast Fork with it to target Electrodominance. Unfortunately, Fork will fizzle. By the time Fork tries to resolve, Electrodominance is no longer on the stack, so Fork won't be able to copy it.
Hope this helps!!
