Emerge is a keyword ability introduced in Eldritch Moon that provides an alternative cost for a spell when sacrificing a creature.[1] Emerge was designed by Sam Stoddard's development team, and inspired by the old ninjutsu mechanic.[2][3]
In Eldritch Moon, each Emerge cost was 1 mana lower than the converted mana cost, but included at least one colored mana. Emerge was associated with Green, Black, and Blue. It was only present on colorless Eldrazi creatures, all but one of which contained a "When you cast this..." ability.
Foul Emissary does not have Emerge, but produces a synergistic effect when sacrificed for Emerge.
Rules
From the glossary of the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)
- Emerge
- A keyword ability that lets a player cast a spell for less by sacrificing a creature. See rule 702.119, “Emerge.”
From the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)
- 702.119. Emerge
- 702.119a Emerge represents two static abilities that function while the spell with emerge is on the stack. “Emerge [cost]” means “You may cast this spell by paying [cost] and sacrificing a creature rather than paying its mana cost” and “If you chose to pay this spell’s emerge cost, its total cost is reduced by an amount of generic mana equal to the sacrificed creature’s mana value.” Casting a spell using its emerge ability follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2f–h.
- 702.119b Emerge from [quality] is a variant of emerge. “Emerge from [quality] [cost]” means “You may cast this spell by paying [cost] and sacrificing a [quality] permanent rather than paying its mana cost” and “If you pay this spell’s emerge cost, its total cost is reduced by an amount of generic mana equal to the sacrificed permanent’s mana value.”
- 702.119c You choose which permanent to sacrifice as you choose to pay a spell’s emerge cost (see rule 601.2b), and you sacrifice that permanent as you pay the total cost (see rule 601.2h).
