About Volcanic Torrent

Volcanic Torrent, Sorcery, designed by Grzegorz Rutkowski first released in Nov, 2020 in the set Commander Legends and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.85.

A deck that benefits from casting multiple spells in a turn, such as a spell-heavy control deck or a deck focused on spell synergy, would find Volcanic Torrent to be a powerful addition. However, in a competitive setting, there are potentially better options like Cyclonic Rift for a similar mana cost that offers more flexibility and versatility. Volcanic Torrent could see play in specific strategies that aim to capitalize on casting multiple spells in a turn to deal significant damage to the opponent's board.

Rules

03/19/21

A spell’s converted mana cost is determined only by its mana cost. Ignore any alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, or cost reductions. For example, Bloodbraid Elf’s converted mana cost is always 4.

03/19/21

If the card has in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

03/19/21

The converted mana cost of a modal double-faced card in exile is that of its front face. If the last card you exile is a modal double-faced card, you may only cast the back face if the resulting spell would also have a lesser converted mana cost than the spell with cascade.

03/19/21

When the cascade ability resolves, you must exile cards. The only optional part of the ability is whether or not you cast the last card exiled.

03/19/21

You exile the cards face up. All players will be able to see them.

11/10/20

Countering the spell with cascade has no effect on the cascade ability.

11/10/20

The cascade ability triggers when you cast the spell, meaning that it resolves before that spell. If you cast the card exiled by the cascade ability, that spell will go on the stack above the spell with cascade.

11/10/20

The value of X is calculated as Volcanic Torrent resolves. It will include Volcanic Torrent, spells you cast in response to Volcanic Torrent, and spells you cast prior to casting Volcanic Torrent, even if those spells haven’t resolved yet. For example, say the first spell you cast in a turn has cascade and that cascade ability causes you to cast Volcanic Torrent. Then Volcanic Torrent’s cascade ability causes you to cast another spell. When Volcanic Torrent resolves, X will be 3.

11/10/20

You don’t have to cast the last card exiled by a cascade ability. If you choose to do so, you’re casting it as a spell. This means that it can be countered, and appropriate abilities trigger (such as if that spell also has cascade).
