Rulings
- January 25, 2019 — If Spawn of Mayhem gains lifelink, the damage it deals will cause you to simultaneously lose and gain life. If your life total is 1, you won't lose the game.
- January 25, 2019 — In a Two-Headed Giant game, Spawn of Mayhem's last ability causes each team to lose 2 life. Then if your team's life total is 10 or less, you put a +1/+1 counter on Spawn of Mayhem.
- January 25, 2019 — If each player has 0 life after Spawn of Mayhem's triggered ability resolves, each player loses the game at the same time and the game ends in a draw.
- January 12, 2024 — In a multiplayer game, if an opponent loses life and later that turn leaves the game, you can cast a spell for its spectacle cost. (If a player leaves the game during their turn, that turn continues without an active player.)
- January 12, 2024 — Spectacle doesn't change when you can cast the spell. For example, you can't cast a sorcery with spectacle during an opponent's turn unless another effect allows you to do so, even if that player has lost life this turn.
- January 12, 2024 — To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as a spectacle cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
- January 12, 2024 — A card's spectacle cost is the same no matter how much life your opponents lost or how many opponents lost life.
- January 12, 2024 — Damage dealt to a player causes that player to lose that much life.
- January 12, 2024 — Spectacle cares only that an opponent lost life during the turn, not that the opponent's life total is currently lower than it was. For example, if an opponent loses 1 life and then gains 2 life in the same turn, you can cast a spell for its spectacle cost that turn.
