Rulings

3 · latest Oct 4, 2019
  • WotCOct 4, 2019

    Gadwick's second ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

  • WotCOct 4, 2019

    Gadwick's triggered ability won't trigger when you cast it because it's not on the battlefield yet.

  • WotCOct 4, 2019

    If Gadwick enters the battlefield without being cast, or if it was cast for a cost other than its mana cost, the value of X for its first ability is 0.
