Official rulings

6 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

You may pay the squad cost any number of times. You will create a token that is a copy of that permanent for each time you paid the squad cost. If you paid the squad cost multiple times, the tokens will all enter the battlefield simultaneously.

If, for some reason, the creature doesn’t have the squad ability when it’s on the battlefield, the ability won’t trigger, even if you’ve paid the squad cost one or more times.

2024-03-08 · Wizards of the Coast

If the spell is countered, the squad ability will not trigger, and no tokens will be created.

2024-03-08 · Wizards of the Coast

The tokens created by the squad ability aren’t “cast,” so any abilities that trigger when a spell is cast won’t trigger for the copies.

2024-03-08 · Wizards of the Coast

Once you announce that you’re casting Ruthless Radrat, no player may take actions until you’re done casting it. Notably, opponents can’t try to remove cards from your graveyard to stop you from paying Ruthless Radrat’s squad cost.

2024-03-08 · Wizards of the Coast

If the spell resolves but the creature with squad leaves the battlefield before its squad ability resolves, you’ll still create the token copies.
