Wizards' site announces the card:

Looks pretty strange in that particular image.

sure the cc is steep, and I know everyone calls everything broken before it comes out, but this card looks awefully powerful. And it's cheaper than excrutiator.

Does that mean if i play a convoce spell, that i can replicate it with convoce?
My guess is 'no' but want to be sure.

Have to say i like this guy. How usefull that ability is i dont know, but i will definitly give him a go.
This guy and a lava spike, Outch!

Hello Izzet-tron!
Since replicate costs are part of the total cost to play the spell, and convoke reduces this cost, you could pay for some of the replicated spells with convoke as well. However, each creature tapped would still only reduce the total cost you pay by 1 mana.

So if you had 2 Grizzly Bears, you could tap both of them to play Gather Courage and replicate it once. Tapping just one of them wouldn't let you replicate for free, though.

Pay 3, Dark Ritual replicate it 3 times, got 9, dark ritual replicate for 9 total, got 27 mana, consume spirit, fun fun fun.

It's merely a casual card though.

If i splice say glacial ray on like a lava spike and pay to replicate, will the splice be replicated as well? So replicating that lava spike 3 times gives 20 dammage?

Must say I like Izzet, fun stuff.
guildmage+RRRRRR+lava spike+desperate ritual=crazy-fun

I was thinking the same thing, but you pay the replicate cost when you cast the spell - before it resolves.

Sure looks like it. And you'll only have to pay R for each replicated copy.

Right, but I believe bertrand was suggesting using two Rits and spending BBB (from Swamps or something) for the first and then BBBBBBBBB (from the first) for the second.

gotcha, that should work.

I was trying to figure out how to abuse Dark Ritual with it also.
