Card Rulings
2019-11-12Animate Spell loses “enchant instant or sorcery spell on the stack” and gains “enchant permanent put onto the battlefield with Animate Spell” before becoming attached to that creature. It doesn’t say that on the card, but we’ll figure it out later.
2019-11-12If the creature leaves the battlefield before or at the same time as Animate Spell, it can’t be cast.
2019-11-12Use the mana value of the spell to determine the power and toughness of the creature it becomes. For a spell with in its mana cost, use the value chosen for X to determine its mana value.
