Accepted Answer

You can tap any untapped creature you control to convoke a spell, even one you haven't controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn.

Accepted Answer

Tapping an untapped creature that's attacking or blocking to convoke a spell won't cause that creature to stop attacking or blocking.

Accepted Answer

Tapping a multicolored creature using convoke will pay for {1} or one mana of your choice of any of that creature's colors.

Question 4

Ruling for Chord of Calling: When using convoke to cast a spell with {X} in its mana cost, first choose the v...

Accepted Answer

When using convoke to cast a spell with {X} in its mana cost, first choose the value for X. That choice, plus any cost increases or decreases, will determine the spell's total cost. Then you can tap creatures you control to help pay that cost. For example, if you cast Chord of Calling (a spell with convoke and mana cost {X}{G}{G}{G}) and choose X to be 3, the total cost is {3}{G}{G}{G}. If you tap two green creatures and two red creatures, you'll have to pay {1}{G}.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

When calculating a spell's total cost, include any alternative costs, additional costs, or anything else that increases or reduces the cost to cast the spell. Convoke applies after the total cost is calculated. Convoke doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value.

Question 6

Ruling for Chord of Calling: Because convoke isn't an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with al...

Accepted Answer

Because convoke isn't an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs.

Question 7

Ruling for Chord of Calling: If a creature you control has a mana ability with {T} in the cost, activating th...

Accepted Answer

If a creature you control has a mana ability with {T} in the cost, activating that ability while casting a spell with convoke will result in the creature being tapped before you pay the spell's costs. You won't be able to tap it again for convoke. Similarly, if you sacrifice a creature to activate a mana ability while casting a spell with convoke, that creature won't be on the battlefield when you pay the spell's costs, so you won't be able to tap it for convoke.

Question 8

Ruling for Chord of Calling: If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be ...

Accepted Answer

If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
