Mayhem
MTG Mechanic
Mayhem is a new ability that allows you to cast a card from your graveyard for an alternative cost if you discarded it that turn. If you cast it this way, you pay the mayhem cost rather than the mana cost. As the reminder text reminds us, mayhem doesn't change when you can cast a spell, so if you discard Electro's Bolt on an opponent's turn, you can't take advantage of mayhem because Electro's Bolt is a sorcery.
Mayhem Rules
A keyword ability that allows you to play cards you discarded this turn from your graveyard for an alternative cost. See rule 702.187, “Mayhem.”
- 702.187a: Mayhem is a static ability that functions while the card with mayhem is in a player’s graveyard.
- 702.187b: “Mayhem [cost]” means “As long as you discarded this card this turn, you may cast it from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost.” Casting a spell using its mayhem ability follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2f–h.
- 702.187c: “Mayhem” without a cost means “You may play this card from your graveyard if you discarded it this turn.”
