Official rulings
Four official rulings apply to Surge to Victory, newest first.
- If the spell you cast has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X.
- You cast the copies while the delayed triggered ability of Surge to Victory is resolving. Ignore any timing restrictions based on the copies' card types.
- Copying the card doesn't cause magecraft abilities to trigger, although casting the copies does.
- If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost," you can't pay any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.
