Dread Fugue

{B}Sorcery

Cleave {2}{B} (You may cast this spell for its cleave cost. If you do, remove the words in square brackets.)

Target player reveals their hand. You choose a nonland card from it [with mana value 2 or less]. That player discards that card.

Official rulings

  1. A cleave cost is an alternative cost that's paid instead of the spell's mana cost. Casting a spell for its cleave cost doesn't change the spell's mana value. (2021-11-19)
  2. You can't cast a spell for both its cleave cost and another alternative cost. For example, if an effect gives an Alchemist's Retrieval in your graveyard a flashback cost of {U}, you can't cast it from your graveyard for its cleave cost. (2021-11-19)
  3. If you cast a spell for its cleave cost, that spell doesn't have any of the text in square brackets while it's on the stack. (2021-11-19)
  4. If an effect allows you to “cast a spell without paying its mana cost,” you can't cast that spell for its cleave cost. (2021-11-19)
