What is the CMC of a card with Fuse?

Asked by gigagloin 6 years ago

I just read that cards with Aftermath like Driven / Despair have a CMC of 4 because all characteristics of the card are combined everywhere except on the stack. I read in some wiki that according to the rules this also applies to Fuse, eg. Far / Away.

I recently built a deck with Disciple of Deceit, which can transmute cards into other cards with the same CMC. Is it still possible to transmute Negate into Far (2 CMC) or do I have to use the CMC of Far / Away?

So the rule for Aftermath cards also applies to Fuse cards, according to the most recent rules changes. Unfortunately, you cannot discard a 2 cmc card (like Negate) into Far / Away, because the latter has a cmc of 5.
