Riot FAQ · 2026-08-14
Does an empowered Mel, Newly Awakened stop Rebuttal from taking control of your spell?
No. Gaining control of a spell is not countering it. If the Rebuttal player pays one power of any domain on resolution, they gain control of your spell; if they don’t pay, your spell is not countered.
Explanation & source
Effects that stop spells from being countered don’t stop their controller from changing.

What new choices can you make when you play Rebuttal and pay one power of any domain?
You can make new choices for any number of the spell’s targets or modes. The rest stay the same.
Explanation & source
Choices you don’t remake must be legal; you can’t leave only some of them legal. Rules about the spell’s choices still apply after control changes, such as a spell played from face down having to target objects at its battlefield.

If you take control of an opponent’s Stupefy with Rebuttal and it resolves, what counts as your spell?
Ravenbloom Student triggers twice, Battering Ram costs 4 Energy, and your opponent’s Legion abilities are active.
Explanation & source
Ravenbloom Student checks for your spells resolving. Battering Ram and Legion check which cards were finalized, and your opponent finalized Stupefy before you took it.
