Skyclave Shade

25/09/20

A landfall ability doesn’t trigger if a permanent already on the battlefield becomes a land.

After you cast Skyclave Shade from your graveyard, it’s considered a new object, and the permission from its landfall ability won’t apply to it again even if it returns to your graveyard later in the turn. You’ll need to have another land enter the battlefield under your control after it has returned to your graveyard to cast it again.

An ability that triggers when a player casts a kicked spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger, but after targets have been chosen for that spell. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can’t kick it.

Kicker represents an optional additional cost that you may choose to pay as you cast the spell. A spell cast with that additional cost paid is “kicked.”

Skyclave Shade’s landfall ability triggers only if it’s in your graveyard immediately after the land enters the battlefield.

To determine a spell’s total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card’s effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The converted mana cost of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
