Do spells with Escape cast from the graveyard leave the graveyard at the same time as their Escape cost?

Asked by Yesterday 3 years ago

I control a Desecrated Tomb .

I have five creature cards in my graveyard, including Chainweb Aracnir . I cast the Chainweb for its escape cost by exiling the other four creature cards.

Do I get 1 or 2 bats?

You get 2 bats. The Chainweb Aracnir leaves the graveyard when it is put on the stack as the first step of casting it. The other four leave the graveyard when costs are paid later in the casting process. This is two different game events.
