Spree is a keyword ability for instants and sorceries that was introduced in Outlaws of Thunder Junction.[1][2] 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. The spell cannot be cast without choosing at least one additional cost.
A spell with spree can have a very different impact when it's cast in the early game using cheaper effects compared to when it's cast as a finisher going all-out on expensive effects.
Icon
To help highlight the mandatory additional cost, the title bar of cards with spree has been modified to include a white plus sign ("+") on a black triangle after the mana cost. The modified card frame is just a reminder and has no actual rules meaning.
Rules
Rulings
- Each mode includes an additional cost that must be paid to cast the spell.
- You must choose one or more modes as you cast a spell with spree, but no single mode can be chosen more than once.
- If you cast a spell with spree without paying its mana cost, you must still choose one or more modes and pay those additional costs.
- No matter which modes you choose and which additional costs you pay, the mana value of a spell with spree is based only on its mana cost.
Examples
Example
