![]() ![]() ![]() You pay the squad cost at the same time you’d pay other costs for that spell just like you would for a kicker spell.Īdditional costs can be paid if a spell or ability instructs you to cast a spell “without paying its mana cost.” If something like Epistolary Librarian instructs you to cast a squad spell for free, you can still pay mana for the squad cost as many times as you’d like. Squad is indeed an additional cost, as indicated by the reminder text. The mechanic was only featured in one of the four decks, so it’s limited to the Esper ( ) colors for now, and only six cards have squad in the entire game. Squad was introduced in the 2022 Warhammer 40k Commander precons, and it’s currently exclusive to the Forces of the Imperium deck. The rest works like your typical enter-the-battlefield effect, triggering on ETB and checking the number of times the squad cost was paid. Instead you pay the additional squad cost while you’re paying any other costs for the card. There’s no “squad trigger” when you cast the creature. Squad is part-static ability, part-triggered ability. Think of it as a Warhammer-flavored version of multi-kicker. When you cast a creature with squad you can pay the squad cost any number of times to create that many copies of the creature when it enters the battlefield.
