Official rulings

Four official rulings apply to Arco-Flagellant, newest first.

  • You may pay the squad cost any number of times. You will get a token that is a copy of that permanent for each time you paid the squad cost.
  • The tokens created by the squad ability aren't "cast," so any abilities that trigger when a spell is cast won't trigger for the copies.
  • If, for some reason, the creature doesn't have the squad ability when it's on the battlefield, the ability won't trigger, even if you've paid the squad cost one or more times.
  • If the spell is countered, the squad ability will not trigger, and no tokens will be created.
