You are correct Turbine, permanents are only on battlefield.

Not all players understand MTG in it's entirety. Things like this are a good learning experience for them.

If you're looking for a good way to use Radiate, try it with something that will benefit you regardless of the target, such as a spell with lifegain like Lightning Helix, or card drawing like Electrolyze. Also try to keep the cost on the spell you're going to Radiate as low as possible. Combos that cost 10 mana are often unreliable.

So it should be a permanent huh? How about pump spells like Might of Oaks?

first off turbine, enough b.s. harassment, ok, you slam all my combos, usually the fist person to post too. Second i get maybe 4 hours sleep a night, and work 12 a day 6 day a week,  so usually im not with it all the time,so back off if my combos usually are weak, most of them are copies from this site with a card added, or one removed and replaced with a cheaper version. so......be nice, you'll live a healthier life.

Well, some players are not very combo-oriented as for me, ever since I played MtG, I'm very combo oriented...

this combo is brutally effective... and works well if you can get the mana *points at eldrazi spawn tokens*

cards in graveyards are considered permanants in the graveyard if they are something that stays on the board when cast successfully from the hand. or cards like

A permanent is anything that stays in play until removed by sending it to its owner's graveyard or hand, or removed from play.
A permanent is only a permanent if it is in play. If a card's rules text refers to a 'permanent card,' it is referring to a card with one of the following card types: creature, land, artifact, enchantment or planeswalker. For example, Vindicate reads, 'destroys target permanent.' The player can target permanent in play. Nature's Spiral reads, 'return target permanent card from your graveyard to your hand.' The player can target a card in his graveyard only if it has a permanent card type. If Nature's Spiral read, 'return target permanent from your graveyard to your hand,' it wouldn't work because permanents have to be in play in order to be permanents.

Radiate doesn't say permanent card. Radiate says permanent. The combo doesn't work. Go elsewhere with your shabby rules understanding please.

Will the kicked Rite of Replication's copy kicked too?

If a kicked spell is copied, the copy is kicked too. The red spell is Fork, although I think they made a new one in M11.

No, I don't believe that the copy will be kicked. You can pay the kicker though.

when a spell is copied all choices that were made for it are copied to.  So yes the copy will be kicked if the orignal is

Kickers are additional costs to play the spell, and anytime a spell is copied, all costs that were payed for it are also copied. This is different from abilities like Storm or Replicate, as these are abilities of the cards being cast, not costs required to cast them.

Then if you multikick a spell then copy it, then it is also multikicked?

Yes, multikicker follows all the same rules as kicker. Kickers work much the same way as splicing, it actually adds abilities to the cards, rather than creating new abilties seperate from the cards.

So then Paradox, you are saying that if you copy a Fireball, the X is copied too?

He did say though that "anytime a spell is copied, all costs that were payed for it are also copied".

Of course there are ruling for the X costs... I'm pretty sure you're familiar with it...

Yes, the X costs are absolutely copied. The stack is the only zone where X has a value. In any other zone, X is always 0.

Copying a spell also takes into account buyback, although this will not have much effect since there's no card to repersent a copy.

Copying a spell also works with entwine, kicker, multikicker, and splice.

Copying a spell WILL NOT WORK with cascade, conspire, convoke, delve, gravestorm, rebound, replicate, ripple, and storm.

Please note that you cannot splice onto a copied spell as this must be done as the cpell is being played which a copy never is, however you can copy a spliced a spell and the copy will have all the abilities from cards spliced onto the original.

Also, whencopying a creature that was suspended, the copy does not have haste. This is because it's one of the triggered abilities of the suspend keyword that grants this.
