Rulings5

6/7/2013·wotc

If all of the spell’s targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen.

6/7/2013·wotc

A card with a splice ability can’t be spliced onto itself because the spell is on the stack (and not in your hand) when you reveal the cards you want to splice onto it.

6/7/2013·wotc

You reveal all cards you intend to splice at the same time. Each individual card can be spliced only once onto any one spell.
