Monologue Tax

Enchantment

Whenever an opponent casts their second spell each turn, you create a Treasure token.

"Your unsolicited words enrich us all. Please, continue."
—Yold, professor of cryptorelicology

Legality

Rulings (3)

  • The ability can trigger once each turn for each opponent.
  • It doesn't matter if Monologue Tax was on the battlefield for the first spell. It also doesn't matter if that first spell resolved or not.
  • Nothing special happens on the third spell, fourth spell, and so on.
