Gameplay

Sorcery

Surge {3}{U}{U} (You may cast this spell for its surge cost if you or a teammate has cast another spell this turn.) Return all nonland permanents to their owners' hands. If this spell's surge cost was paid, create an 8/8 blue Octopus creature token.

All other nonland permanents will already be in their owners' hands by the time the Octopus token is created. Any triggered abilities or abilities that would have otherwise affected that Octopus won't be around to matter.

2016-01-22wotc

Casting a spell for its surge cost doesn't change its mana cost or its mana value.

2016-01-22wotc

The other spell that you or a teammate cast can be one that's resolved, one that was countered, or (for instants with surge) one that's still on the stack.
