Comprehensive Rules
702.74a
Evoke represents two abilities: a static ability that functions in any zone from which the card with evoke can be cast and a triggered ability that functions on the battlefield. âEvoke [cost]â means âYou may cast this card by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana costâ and âWhen this permanent enters the battlefield, if its evoke cost was paid, its controller sacrifices it.â Casting a spell for its evoke cost follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2fâh.
