About Shatter the Source
Shatter the Source, Instant, designed by Artur Nakhodkin first released in April 2023 in the set March of the Machine. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.03.
Shatter the Source could be beneficial in a red aggro deck that utilizes creatures to help cast spells efficiently. While the flexibility of being able to deal damage to a creature, planeswalker, or battle and destroy an artifact is useful, there may be better options available such as Lightning Bolt or Smash to Smithereens which are more cost-effective and versatile in most situations. Shatter the Source may not see much play in competitive decks due to its higher cost and limited impact compared to other available options.
Rules
01/12/2024
Because convoke isn't an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs.
01/12/2024
If a creature you control has a mana ability with {T} in the cost, activating that ability while casting a spell with convoke will result in the creature being tapped before you pay the spell's costs. You won't be able to tap it again for convoke. Similarly, if you sacrifice a creature to activate a mana ability while casting a spell with convoke, that creature won't be on the battlefield when you pay the spell's costs, so you won't be able to tap it for convoke.
01/12/2024
Tapping a multicolored creature using convoke will pay for {1} or one mana of your choice of any of that creature's colors.
01/12/2024
Tapping an untapped creature that's attacking or blocking to convoke a spell won't cause that creature to stop attacking or blocking.
01/12/2024
When calculating a spell's total cost, include any alternative costs, additional costs, or anything else that increases or reduces the cost to cast the spell. Convoke applies after the total cost is calculated. Convoke doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value.
01/12/2024
You can tap any untapped creature you control to convoke a spell, even one you haven't controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn.
