Dash is a keyword ability on permanents that allows the player to play the card for an alternative cost. When you pay its dash cost instead of paying its mana cost, the creature will have haste, so it can attack that turn. At the beginning of the next end step, you'll return the creature from the battlefield to its owner's hand. [1]
Description
Dash was introduced in Fate Reforged where it replaced Raid from Khans of Tarkir as the mechanic associated with the Mardu Horde. [2] It also features in Dragons of Tarkir, associated with the Kolaghan clan. [3] Without the keyword, the mechanic was featured as early as Visions, on Viashino Sandstalker
Some dash costs are lower than the mana costs of the creature cards they're on. Other cards have dash costs that are the same or higher than their mana costs. Attacking with such a creature right away can be powerful, so you may want to cast such a creature using it dash cost even if you could pay its mana cost.
Rules
Lua error in Module:CR at line 549: Unknown error, multiple lookups .
Rulings
- If you choose to pay the dash cost, you're still casting the spell, so it goes on the stack and can be countered.
- Dash doesn't change when you can cast creature spells — usually only during your main phase.
- If you cast a creature spell using its dash cost, it will return to your hand only if it's still on the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step. If it leaves the battlefield before that point, it'll just stay wherever it is.
- You don't have to attack with the creature with dash unless another ability says you do.
- If a creature enters the battlefield as a copy of or becomes a copy of a creature whose dash cost was paid, the copy won't have haste and won't be returned to its owner's hand.
