Official rulings

Two official rulings apply to Spirit Bonds, newest first.

  • You decide whether to pay {W} as the triggered ability resolves. You may only pay {W} and create a Spirit token once per nontoken creature.
  • You can sacrifice any Spirit to activate the last ability, not just a Spirit token created by Spirit Bonds.
