Rulings

2016-07-13 Additional costs don’t affect a spell’s mana value.

2016-07-13 Effects that reduce the cost of spells reduce the total cost, including any escalate costs added.

2016-07-13 If an effect allows you to cast a spell that has escalate without paying its mana cost, you pay escalate costs for that spell if you choose more than one mode.

2016-07-13 If one target of an escalate spell becomes illegal, the other targets will still be affected. If all of the targets become illegal, the spell won’t resolve.

2016-07-13 If two of the chosen modes of an escalate spell target a creature, you may choose the same creature for each mode’s target, or choose different creatures. The same is true if the chosen modes target a player (or opponent).

2016-07-13 The targeted opponent chooses which of their attacking creatures to sacrifice, not you.

2016-07-13 Untapping an attacking creature doesn’t cause it to be removed from combat.

2016-07-13 You can’t choose any one mode multiple times.

2016-07-13 You choose all of your modes at once. You can’t wait to perform one mode’s actions and then decide to choose more modes.
