- 1. Just Another REL Presented by David Elden Replacement Effects

- 20. Replacement effects: Existence vs. application ● One thing that can be confusing is that replacement effects need to exist before they apply. ● Sometimes, the replacement effect is set up by a static ability that's just on all the time. Other times, we're not so lucky...
- 21. Replacement effects: Existence vs. application Static ability
- 22. Replacement effects: Existence vs. application Activated ability
- 23. Replacement effects: Existence vs. application Triggered ability
- 24. Replacement effects: Existence vs. application From a spell
- 25. How do replacement effects work? ● Once a replacement effect exists, it constantly watches the game for a chance to apply and intervenes immediately when it sees one. ● Replacement effects don't require priority or use the stack. They can apply anytime, even in the middle of casting or resolving a spell. ● If the replacement effect involves a choice, that choice is made as the replacement effect applies.

- 30. CR 117.11 ● The actions performed when paying a cost may be modified by effects. Even if they are, meaning the actions that are performed don't match the actions that are called for, the cost has still been paid.
- 31. Interaction of replacement effects ● If two replacement effects want to affect the same thing at the same time, the affected player or affected object's controller chooses what order they apply ● A replacement effect can only apply to a specific event once. This is true even if the replacement effect still applies to the event after applying the first time, or if applying subsequent replacement effects causes it to become applicable again.

- 34. Interaction of replacement effects ● The affected player still gets to pick, but there are some rules they have to follow. – Self-replacement effects are the highest priority and must be picked first. – Then, effects that make a permanent enter the battlefield under a different player's control – Then, effects that make a permanent a copy of another permanent – If there are none of these, the affected player can pick whatever effect they like to apply first.

- 37. CR 702.33 ● "Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack." Casting a spell using its flashback ability follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2f-h.

- 40. Summary ● Look for characteristic templates like “instead” or “skip” or characteristic effects like changing how an object enters the battlefield or is turned face up ● Replacement effects have to exist before they apply, but they can apply anytime, without a player needing priority or using the stack.
- 41. Summary The affected player gets to choose which effect to apply first, but must respect the replacement effect “layers” – Self-replacement effects – Gather Specimens – Enters the battlefield as a copy effects – Everything else
