Official rulings

Price of Fame can target a creature that's indestructible. It won't be destroyed, but you'll surveil.

2018-10-05 · Wizards of the Coast

You'll surveil before resolving any abilities that trigger on the target creature dying.

2018-10-05 · Wizards of the Coast

Price of Fame's mana value is 4, even if it costs {2} less to cast.

2018-10-05 · Wizards of the Coast

You perform the actions stated on a card in sequence. For some spells and abilities, you'll surveil last. For others, you'll surveil and then perform other actions.

2024-01-12 · Wizards of the Coast

When you surveil, you may put all the cards you look at back on top of your library, you may put all of those cards into your graveyard, or you may put some of those cards on top and the rest of them into your graveyard.

2024-01-12 · Wizards of the Coast

Some spells that instruct you to surveil require targets. You can't cast a spell without choosing legal targets. If all of those targets become illegal, the spell doesn't resolve and you won't surveil.
