Official rulings

7 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

If an effect allows you to cast a spell that has escalate without paying its mana cost, you pay escalate costs for that spell if you choose more than one mode.

2016-07-13 · Wizards of the Coast

You choose all of your modes at once. You can’t wait to perform one mode’s actions and then decide to choose more modes.

2016-07-13 · Wizards of the Coast

Effects that reduce the cost of spells reduce the total cost, including any escalate costs added.

2016-07-13 · Wizards of the Coast

Additional costs don’t affect a spell’s mana value.

2016-07-13 · Wizards of the Coast

If one target of an escalate spell becomes illegal, the other targets will still be affected. If all of the targets become illegal, the spell won’t resolve.

2016-07-13 · Wizards of the Coast

You can’t choose any one mode multiple times.

2016-07-13 · Wizards of the Coast

If two of the chosen modes of an escalate spell target a creature, you may choose the same creature for each mode’s target, or choose different creatures. The same is true if the chosen modes target a player (or opponent).
