If you use both spells on the card fire // ice, does that activate prowess twice?

Asked by sfgoldenblood 9 years ago

I was thinking of making a combo with fire // ice to activate prowess because it's one card with two cheap and good spells. I'm not sure if prowess activates twice if you used both spells on that card. I checked on google and couldn't seem to find my answer.

NO, you are still only cast one spell, just both halves of that spell.

702.101a Fuse is a static ability found on some split cards (see rule 708, "Split Cards") that applies while the card with fuse is in a players hand. If a player casts a split card with fuse from his or her hand, the player may choose to cast both halves of that split card. This choice is made before putting the split card with fuse onto the stack. The resulting spell is a fused split spell.

Link all cards in your question.
Fire/Ice

Fire/Ice is not a fuse spell. It doesn't have the fuse ability. You can only cast one half of it, not both, and that half will count only as one spell (a split card can only ever be one spell, even if you fuse it).

Note also that prowess is a triggered ability, not an activated one. It doesn't activate; it triggers.
