Q: Amy controls Inspiring Statuary and Ornithopter and wants to cast Abundant Maw for its emerge cost. Conversely, if you tap it to improvise, that takes place after the last opportunity you would have to sacrifice it with Krark-Clan Ironworks. That means that if you sacrifice the artifact to make 2 mana, it won’t be in play for you to tap it for improvise. The problem is that you have to activate mana abilities, such as Krark-Clan Ironworks’ ability, before you start paying costs. It’s true that costs can be paid in any order, and that improvise works by letting you tap your artifacts to pay the generic mana portion of the spell’s cost. Q: Can I tap an artifact to improvise a spell and then sacrifice that artifact to Krark-Clan Ironworks to get 2 more mana out of it?Ī: No, that doesn’t work. Since improvise works by giving the player another way to cover generic mana in a cost, you can choose to pay the mana first, tapping Inspiring Statuary, then the “sacrifice an artifact” part later to sacrifice it. If there are multiple parts of the cost (such as sacrificing an artifact and paying mana), these can be paid in any order. After the final cost to cast the spell is determined, the next step is for that cost to be paid. Q: Can I tap Inspiring Statuary for the improvise while casting Incendiary Sabotage and then sacrifice it for the “sacrifice an artifact” part of the cost?Ī: Yes. For each generic mana in that cost, you can tap an artifact rather than paying that mana. The resultant total cost is the cost you pay. The spell’s cost is determined by starting with the mana or alternative cost, then applying all those types of effects. In fact, the only difference between convoke and improvise is the type of card they let you tap to pay for the mana. Q: How does improvise work with cost changing effects?Ī: For these purposes, exactly like convoke or delve. As a consequence of this, artifact creatures can be tapped even if they don’t have haste. The CR entry for improvise spells the word “tap” out each time rather than using the tap symbol.
Q: Can I tap artifact creatures for improvise the turn they came into play?Ī: Yes. In the New Set Digest series, you can find everything you need, all in one place. It can get a little overwhelming trying to keep everything straight. With every new set, there are new cards, new rules, updates to policy documents, and the B/R list.
