Mageseekers & Voltician wording

Submitted 4 years ago by

I know this will be a moot point in a few hours, but it's driving me crazy. A lot of people are misinterpreting the text or are just puzzled by it, when it seems pretty clear to me.

"Once you've cast a 6+ cost spell this game" is a binary condition. Either it has happened, or it has not. It doesn't have to happen while the Mageseeker card is in play. Once the condition is met, it affects all Mageseekers in your deck or in play for the rest of the game, but only once. The effect does not repeat if you cost more big spells.

If you cast a 6-cost spell on turn three, every Mageseeker/Voltician you ever summon will come into play with the kicker activated.

If you play a Mageseeker/Voltician before casting a big spell, it doesn't get the kicker until you do. Obviously, if the unit is killed before you can activate the kicker, it doesn't matter for that particular instance of the unit.

In summary, casting the big spell only needs to happen once, at any time during the game, but casting more spells does not reactivate the effect.

    Yup, I'm puzzled how this can be so confusing to people, too. It isn't worded ambiguously in the slightest (unlike the old Mageseeker Investigator).

    I don't see even in that any confusing wording: if you casted a spell that turn, it will activate the Play effect otherwise not.
