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.
wotc13 Jul 2016
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.
wotc13 Jul 2016
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).
wotc13 Jul 2016
Additional costs don't affect a spell's mana value.
wotc13 Jul 2016
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.
wotc13 Jul 2016
If you choose the second and third modes, and the targeted creature is controlled by the targeted opponent, that creature will take 2 plus 1 damage for a total of 3 damage. An ability that triggers whenever that creature is dealt damage will trigger twice.
