Gameplay

Sorcery

Spectacle {R} (You may cast this spell for its spectacle cost rather than its mana cost if an opponent lost life this turn.) Skewer the Critics deals 3 damage to any target.

Going to a Rakdos show is dangerous. Trying to leave early can be fatal.

In a multiplayer game, if an opponent loses life and later that turn leaves the game, you can cast a spell for its spectacle cost. (If a player leaves the game during their turn, that turn continues without an active player.)

2024-01-12wotc

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as a spectacle cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

2024-01-12wotc

Damage dealt to a player causes that player to lose that much life.
