Instant

Surge (You may cast this spell for its surge cost if you or a teammate has cast another spell this turn.)

Card details

Jan 22, 2016
Casting a spell for its surge cost doesn't change its mana cost or its mana value.
Jan 22, 2016
For some cards, surge represents only an alternative cost, a discount that applies if you or a teammate has cast another spell this turn. Other cards, like Reckless Bushwhacker, have additional abilities or effects if you paid the surge cost to cast the spell.
Jan 22, 2016
If an instant or sorcery spell cast for its surge cost is copied, the copy is also considered to have had its surge cost paid.
Jan 22, 2016
The other spell that you or a teammate cast can be one that's resolved, one that was countered, or (for instants with surge) one that's still on the stack.
