About Beamsplitter Mage

Beamsplitter Mage, Creature — vedalken wizard, designed by Svetlin Velinov first released in Oct, 2018 in the set Guilds of Ravnica. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.05.

Beamsplitter Mage would benefit a deck that focuses on casting multiple instant and sorcery spells targeting creatures, especially in a deck with a variety of creatures to target. While Beamsplitter Mage can create additional value by copying spells, it may not be as efficient as other cards like Dualcaster Mage or Naru Meha, Master Wizard, which offer more versatile and powerful abilities for the same mana cost. However, in a deck specifically built around the synergy of targeting creatures with spells, Beamsplitter Mage could find a niche and see play.

Rules

10/05/18

If Beamsplitter Mage leaves the battlefield or becomes an illegal target for the spell that caused its ability to trigger, that spell is still copied.

10/05/18

If the spell that’s copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast (like Selective Snare does), the copy has the same value of X.

10/05/18

In some rare cases, the original spell can target another creature but the copy can’t (most likely because an effect modified the characteristics of the original spell on the stack and won’t modify the copy). If the copy can’t target the chosen creature, the copy isn’t created.

10/05/18

The ability triggers whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell that targets only Beamsplitter Mage and no other object or player, and only if you control another creature that spell could target. If you cast an instant or sorcery spell that has multiple targets and Beamsplitter Mage is chosen as the target in each instance, Beamsplitter Mage’s ability will trigger.

10/05/18

The copy is created on the stack, so it’s not cast. Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell (like Beamsplitter Mage’s ability itself) won’t trigger.
