FAQ #8535·March 5, 2026·Rules v1.4·Asked before Vendetta
Answer
Yes, you must pay the Deflect cost when casting Switcheroo on a unit with Deflect.
According to the official ruling:
- Yes, you must pay for Deflect when casting Switcheroo on a unit with Deflect, because Switcheroo is a spell and you are choosing (targeting) the unit with Deflect.
- Nuance: This only applies if the unit with Deflect is controlled by an opponent.
Because Deflect is a mandatory additional cost (Rule 735.1.d), it must be paid when the spell is placed on the chain, before the spell resolves.
