What exactly triggers Riku of many path's ability?

Asked by purpleballspurple 3 weeks ago

So I understand how Riku of Many Paths ability works with a spell like Simic Charm but was confused if casting a permanent such as Balor would work, does it even count as a modal spell and if so do I get to pick anything for Riku?

Thank you in advance

Balor isn't a modal spell. It is a creature spell, and the creature represented by the card has a modal ability. It has no interaction with Riku of Many Paths
