wotc16 Apr 2021
Each magecraft ability has a different effect, although they all have the same trigger condition, whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell.
wotc16 Apr 2021
The Blood Avatar will be awakened even if no player has creatures to sacrifice when it resolves.
wotc16 Apr 2021
If an effect creates a copy of an instant or sorcery spell, this will also cause the magecraft ability to trigger.
wotc16 Apr 2021
Returning a nonlegendary creature card is not optional. If there is at least one in your graveyard, you must target it with the magecraft ability.
wotc16 Apr 2021
Awaken the Blood Avatar’s first ability can’t reduce its cost below {B}{R}. However, you can sacrifice any number of creatures, even if they won’t reduce its cost any further.
wotc16 Apr 2021
Include any additional costs to cast Awaken the Blood Avatar before applying its own cost reduction. For example, if Extus is your commander, and an additional cost of {6} applies from the “commander tax,” you may cast Awaken the Blood Avatar by sacrificing four creatures and paying {4}{B}{R}.
