Spree is a keyword ability for instants and sorceries that was introduced in Outlaws of Thunder Junction.[1] It grants them modality.
Description
Similar to escalate, spells with spree have several effects, each with an additional cost. Where spree differs from escalate, however, is that the different effects can have different costs in order to choose them (indicated with a +
next to the ability, where X is the cost). This means that the same card can have very cheap and low-impact effects and more expensive, high-impact effects. When cast, the player must choose one or more of these additional costs. Without paying an additional cost, the spell wouldn't have an effect.
A spell with spree can have a very different impact when it's cast in the early game using cheaper effects than when it's cast as a finisher going all-out on expensive effects.
The plus sign on the modified card frame is just a reminder and has no actual rules meaning.
Rules
Rulings
