overload

Asked by OrzhovExtort 9 years ago

another question about Unexpected Results if i cast it and it reveals a Cyclonic Rift can i over load it?????

Epochalyptik says... Accepted answer #1

No. Overload and "without paying its mana cost" are both alternate costs. When you cast a spell, you can pay its mana cost or an alternate cost. Because Unexpected Results specifies that you can only cast the card if you cast it "without paying its mana cost," you are forced to use a specific alternate cost and cannot pay a different alternate cost.

Note that you can still pay additional costs like kicker, though.
