Delve

702.66a

Delve is a static ability that functions while the spell with delve is on the stack. “Delve” means “For each generic mana in this spell’s total cost, you may exile a card from your graveyard rather than pay that mana.”

702.66b

The delve ability isn’t an additional or alternative cost and applies only after the total cost of the spell with delve is determined.

702.66c

Multiple instances of delve on the same spell are redundant.

Rulings

2023-09-01

If you cast Feral Encounter and no combat phases occur later in that turn, the delayed triggered ability won't trigger.

2023-09-01

Casting Feral Encounter doesn't require any targets. As you put the delayed triggered ability on the stack at the beginning of the next combat phase this turn, you choose the target creature you control and up to one target creature you don't control.
