preventing "Delve" question.

Asked by tristen21 7 years ago

my opponent casted Murderous Cut and can only pay a black mana and by exiling 4 cards in his graveyard. can I prevent this by casting Crypt Incursion? are those 4 cards has been paid and I can only exile cards that's left?

Delving is part of the method of paying for the spell. You can't respond until the spell has been cast, which at that time, the cards are already delved.

When you cast Crypt Incursion, you'll only exile what's leftover.

Hi Raging_Squiggle, what if I casted 1st Crypt Incursion, will that be put on stack and can he still cast Murderous Cut?

Yes, since Murderous Cut is also an instant spell, he will have the opportunity to respond with the Cut, delving the cards in his graveyard before your Incursion has resolved.
