Fork

Asked by klklklklk 13 years ago

Fork says its an exact copy of the spell, and I looked on Gatherer and some one was talking about copying an X cost spell. so when you Fork/Reverberate/Twincast an X cost, is the X still the same, or would you then have to pay the NEXT X too? or is it zero like when you cast an X cost 'without paying its mana cost'?

Copying a spell copies all properties of that spell, such as X, how many times it was kicked, and so forth.

706.2. When copying an object, the copy acquires the copiable values of the original objects characteristics and, for an object on the stack, choices made when casting or activating it (mode, targets, the value of X, whether it was kicked, how it will affect multiple targets, and so on). The copiable values are the values derived from the text printed on the object (that text being name, mana cost, card type, subtype, supertype, expansion symbol, rules text, power, toughness, and/or loyalty), as modified by other copy effects, by as . . . enters the battlefield and as . . . is turned face up abilities that set characteristics, and by abilities that caused the object to be face down. Other effects (including type-changing and text-changing effects), status, and counters are not copied.
