Does Conspire work the way I think it does?

Asked by Thetreymeister 4 years ago

For example, I will play Harrow in my Wort, the Raidmother deck. Because Harrow makes me sacrifice a land, would I have to do the same for the Conspired copy?

You will not have to sacrifice a second land for the copy. Sacrificing the land is an additional cost to cast Harrow. You aren't actually casting the copy that you put on the stack (note the lack of the word "cast" regarding the copy in the Conspire reminder text).

For reference:

• 706.10. To copy a spell, activated ability, or triggered ability means to put a copy of it onto the stack; a copy of a spell isn’t cast and a copy of an activated ability isn’t activated. A copy of a spell or ability copies both the characteristics of the spell or ability and all decisions made for it, including modes, targets, the value of X, and additional or alternative costs. (See rule 601, “Casting Spells.”) Choices that are normally made on resolution are not copied....
