How many drake tokens hit the board?

Asked by Spook9MM 4 years ago

Talrand, Sky Summoner on field, and I cast something with replicate, such as Vacuumelt . Do I just get the 1 drake token for the spell, or do I also get them for the copies using the replicate mechanic? Since the wording just says copy, and not "cast a copy", I am guessing only 1 drake, regardless of how many times I replicate. Am I correct?

You have the right idea, you just get 1 drake. Replicate doesn't cast the copies, it just creates them directly on the stack.

The only situations where you're going to be specifically told to "cast" a copy of something is if the card you're copying isn't currently a spell on the stack. For example: the card exiled by Elite Arcanist , or the one revealed with God-Eternal Kefnet 's ability.
