Official rulings

7 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

If you cast a spell for its cleave cost, that spell doesn't have any of the text in square brackets while it's on the stack.

2021-11-19 · Wizards of the Coast

Exiling Alchemist's Gambit happens as part of its resolution. If the spell is countered, it will go to the graveyard as normal.

2021-11-19 · Wizards of the Coast

If you somehow skip the extra turn Alchemist's Gambit gives you or skip that turn's end step, the delayed triggered ability never triggers. (If you cast Alchemist's Gambit by paying its cleave cost, the delayed triggered ability is never created at all.)

2021-11-19 · Wizards of the Coast

If multiple “extra turn” effects resolve in the same turn, the most recently created turn will be taken first.

2021-11-19 · Wizards of the Coast

You can't cast a spell for both its cleave cost and another alternative cost. For example, if an effect gives an Alchemist's Retrieval in your graveyard a flashback cost of {U}, you can't cast it from your graveyard for its cleave cost.

2021-11-19 · Wizards of the Coast

If an effect allows you to “cast a spell without paying its mana cost,” you can't cast that spell for its cleave cost.

2021-11-19 · Wizards of the Coast

A cleave cost is an alternative cost that's paid instead of the spell's mana cost. Casting a spell for its cleave cost doesn't change the spell's mana value.
