    If an effect allows you to cast a spell that has escalate without paying its mana cost, you pay escalate costs for that spell if you choose more than one mode.
  • 2016-07-13
    Additional costs don't affect a spell's converted mana cost.
  • 2016-07-13
    Effects that reduce the cost of spells reduce the total cost, including any escalate costs added.
  • 2016-07-13
    If one target of an escalate spell becomes illegal, the other targets will still be affected. If all of the targets become illegal, the spell will be countered.
  • 2016-07-13
    You can't choose any one mode multiple times.
  • 2016-07-13
    The targeted opponent chooses which of his or her attacking creatures to sacrifice, not you.
  • 2016-07-13
    Untapping an attacking creature doesn't cause it to be removed from combat.
  • 2016-07-13
    You choose all of your modes at once. You can't wait to perform one mode's actions and then decide to choose more modes.
  • 2016-07-13
    If two of the chosen modes of an escalate spell target a creature, you may choose the same creature for each mode's target, or choose different creatures. The same is true if the chosen modes target a player (or opponent).
