Benalish Sleeper

First printed in Dominaria United (2022)

Benalish Sleeper

Creature — Phyrexian Human Soldier

Kicker Black (You may pay an additional Black as you cast this spell.)
When this creature enters, if it was kicked, each player sacrifices a creature of their choice.

Even he didn't know what he was until he felt his skin shifting and splitting, his mind overtaken by a chaos of whispers.

Legality

Rulings (8)

  • As Benalish Sleeper's ability resolves, first the player whose turn it is chooses a creature to sacrifice, then each other player in turn order does the same knowing the choices made before them. Then all those creatures are sacrificed simultaneously.
  • If you kicked it, you may sacrifice Benalish Sleeper itself as its ability resolves. If you control no other creatures, you'll have to sacrifice Benalish Sleeper.
  • If a spell's kicker cost was paid, the spell is "kicked."
  • If you copy a kicked spell on the stack, the copy is also kicked. If the copied spell is a permanent spell, the token the copy of that spell becomes when it enters is also kicked.
  • The kicker ability doesn't let you pay a kicker cost more than once.
  • If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can't kick it.
  • If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
  • To determine a spell's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The spell's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
