wotc1 Oct 2009
Hive Mind’s effect is mandatory. Each other player must copy the spell whether they want to or not.
wotc1 Oct 2009
A copy’s controller can’t choose to pay any additional costs for the copy. However, effects based on any additional costs that were paid for the original spell are copied as though those same costs were paid for the copy too.
wotc1 Oct 2009
If the spell that’s copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast (like Earthquake does), the copy has the same value of X.
wotc1 Oct 2009
If a copy says that it affects “you,” it affects the controller of the copy, not the controller of the original spell. Similarly, if a copy says that it affects an “opponent,” it affects an opponent of the copy’s controller, not an opponent of the original spell’s controller.
wotc1 Oct 2009
If the spell that’s copied is modal (that is, it says “Choose one —” or the like), the copy will have the same mode. A player can’t choose a different one.
wotc1 Oct 2009
Hive Mind will copy any instant or sorcery spell, not just one with targets.
