    After an escaped spell resolves, it returns to its owner's graveyard if it's not a permanent spell. If it is a permanent spell, it enters the battlefield and will return to its owner's graveyard if it dies later. It can escape again.

  • WotCJun 7, 2024

    Escape's permission doesn't change when you may cast the spell from your graveyard.

  • WotCJun 7, 2024

    If a card has multiple abilities giving you permission to cast it, such as two escape abilities or an escape ability and a flashback ability, you choose which one to apply. The others have no effect.

  • WotCJun 7, 2024

    If a card with escape is put into your graveyard during your turn, you'll be able to cast it right away if it's legal to do so, before an opponent can take any actions.

  • WotCJun 7, 2024

    If you cast a spell with its escape permission, you can't choose to apply any other alternative costs or to cast it without paying its mana cost. If it has any additional costs, you must pay those.

  • WotCJun 7, 2024

    Once you begin casting a spell with escape, it immediately moves to the stack. Players can't take any other actions until you're done casting the spell.

  • WotCJun 7, 2024

    Phlage's first ability causes you to sacrifice it if you didn't cast it, or if it was cast using any permission other than an escape ability.

  • WotCJun 7, 2024

    Phlage's second ability triggers when it enters the battlefield, even if it didn't escape.

  • WotCJun 7, 2024

    To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as an escape 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 and no matter whether an alternative cost was paid.
