Gameplay

Sorcery

This spell costs {X} less to cast, where X is the total power of creatures you control. Volcanic Salvo deals 6 damage to each of up to two target creatures and/or planeswalkers.

Seeing it coming a mile away is little comfort if you can't get out of range in time.

Once you begin to cast Volcanic Salvo, players can't take other actions until you've finished casting it. Notably, they can't try to change the total power of your creatures.

2020-06-23wotc

You can't target the same creature or planeswalker twice with Volcanic Salvo to deal 12 damage to it.

2020-06-23wotc

If a creature's power is somehow less than 0, it subtracts from the total power of your other creatures. If the total power of your creatures is 0 or less, the cost remains {10}{R}{R}.
