Gameplay

Enchantment

Whenever you cast a multicolored instant or sorcery spell, you may pay {1}. If you do, copy that spell. You may choose new targets for the copy.

"Let us flee to the deep jungle. Our city is no longer safe—and I suspect neither is the fallback retreat."

If a modal spell is copied, the copy will have the same mode as the original.

2009-05-01wotc

This ability triggers only once for each multicolored instant or sorcery spell you cast. You can’t use a single Cloven Casting to copy the same spell twice.

2009-05-01wotc

You can copy the spell that caused Cloven Casting’s ability to trigger even if it’s been countered by the time that ability resolves.
