5 rulings from Wizards of the Coast
- 1 October 2009You must target two creatures as you cast Whiplash Trap. If you can't (because just one creature is on the battlefield, perhaps), you can't cast the spell.
- 1 October 2009Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a Trap will apply to whichever cost you chose to pay.
- 1 October 2009You can target any two creatures, not just ones that entered this turn.
- 1 October 2009Casting a Trap by paying its alternative cost doesn't change its mana cost or mana value. The only difference is the cost you actually pay.
- 1 October 2009You may ignore a Trap's alternative cost condition and simply cast it for its normal mana cost. This is true even if its alternative cost condition has been met.
