  • WWizards of the Coast2021-04-16
    Official Ruling
    If an effect creates multiple copies of an instant or sorcery spell, magecraft abilities trigger once for each copy created by the effect.

  • WWizards of the Coast2021-04-16
    Official Ruling
    Each magecraft ability has a different effect, although they all have the same trigger condition, whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell.
  • WWizards of the Coast2021-04-16
    Official Ruling

    As Awaken the Blood Avatar resolves, first the next opponent in turn order (or, if it’s an opponent’s turn, the opponent whose turn it is) chooses a creature they control, then each other opponent in turn order does the same knowing the choices made before them. Then all the chosen creatures are sacrificed at the same time.
  • WWizards of the Coast2021-04-16
    Official Ruling
    Returning a nonlegendary creature card is not optional. If there is at least one in your graveyard, you must target it with the magecraft ability.
  • WWizards of the Coast2021-04-16
    Official Ruling
