Weapon Surge is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
Target creature you control gets +1/+0 and gains first strike until end of turn. Overload(You may cast this spell for its overload cost. If you do, change "target" in its text to "each.")
How it works : Weapon Surge
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Because a spell with overload doesn't target when its overload cost is paid, it may affect permanents with hexproof or with protection from the appropriate color.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If you don't pay the overload cost of a spell with overload, that spell will have a single target. If you pay the overload cost, the spell won't have any targets.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as an overload cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
If you are instructed to cast a spell with overload "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to pay its overload cost instead.
No other card is named in this ruling.
