Official rulings
- Mayhem represents an alternative cost that can be paid to cast a spell from your graveyard if you discarded the card with mayhem that turn. You must pay any additional costs the spell has. (2025-09-19)
- If the returned creature can't attack for any reason (such as being tapped or having come under your control that turn), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having it attack, you're not forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either. (2025-09-19)
- If a card in a graveyard has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0 when determining its mana value. (2025-09-19)
- You must follow all normal timing rules when casting a spell with mayhem. For example, you can't cast a creature card with mayhem you couldn't normally cast during an opponent's turn, even if you discard that card during an opponent's turn. (2025-09-19)
