About Far // Away
Far // Away, Instant , designed by Greg Staples & Greg Staples first released in May, 2013 in the set Dragon's Maze and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
A control deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's board state and maintaining tempo would benefit from using Far // Away in a Dimir or Grixis strategy. While Far // Away offers versatility with its two effects, there are potentially better options like Fatal Push for targeted removal or Cry of the Carnarium for mass creature removal. Whether Far // Away should see play depends on the specific meta and playstyle of the deck, as it can be a solid choice in the right circumstances.
Rules
04/15/13
Away targets only a player. It doesn’t target any creatures. The target player chooses which creature to sacrifice as the spell resolves.
04/15/13
If a player names a card, the player may name either half of a split card, but not both. A split card has the chosen name if one of its two names matches the chosen name.
04/15/13
If you cast a split card with fuse from your hand without paying its mana cost, you can choose to use its fuse ability and cast both halves without paying their mana costs.
04/15/13
If you’re casting a split card with fuse from any zone other than your hand, you can’t cast both halves. You’ll only be able to cast one half or the other.
04/15/13
On the stack, a split spell that hasn’t been fused has only that half’s characteristics and converted mana cost. The other half is treated as though it didn’t exist.
04/15/13
Some split cards with fuse have two halves that are both multicolored. That card is multicolored no matter which half is cast, or if both halves are cast. It’s also multicolored while not on the stack.
04/15/13
Some split cards with fuse have two monocolor halves of different colors. If such a card is cast as a fused split spell, the resulting spell is multicolored. If only one half is cast, the spell is the color of that half. While not on the stack, such a card is multicolored.
04/15/13
To cast a fused split spell, pay both of its mana costs. While the spell is on the stack, its converted mana cost is the total amount of mana in both costs.
04/15/13
When a fused split spell resolves, follow the instructions of the left half first, then the instructions on the right half.
04/15/13
When resolving a fused split spell with multiple targets, treat it as you would any spell with multiple targets. If all targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, the spell doesn’t resolve and none of its effects happen. If at least one target is still legal at that time, the spell resolves, but an illegal target can’t perform any actions or have any actions performed on it.
04/15/13
You can choose the same object as the target of each half of a fused split spell, if appropriate.
