    Appeal // Authority

    Illustrated by Jason Rainville

    EDHREC Rank #22,620
    Until end of turn, target creature gains trample and gets +X/+X, where X is the number of creatures you control. // Aftermath (Cast this spell only from your graveyard. Then exile it.) Tap up to two target creatures your opponents control. Creatures you control gain vigilance until end of turn.

    Rulings (12)

    Once you’ve started to cast a spell with aftermath from your graveyard, the card is immediately moved to the stack. Opponents can’t try to stop the ability by exiling the card with an effect such as that of Crook of Condemnation.

    You may cast Authority without choosing any target creatures. Creatures you control will still gain vigilance until end of turn. However, if you choose any targets and each of those targets become illegal before Authority resolves, the spell won’t resolve and your creatures won’t gain vigilance.

    The value of X is determined only as Appeal begins to resolve. It won’t change later in the turn if the number of creatures you control changes.
