Balor isn't a modal spell. It is a creature spell, and the creature represented by the card has a modal ability. It has no interaction with Riku of Many Paths

So I understand how Riku of Many Paths ability works with a spell like Simic Charm but was confused if casting a permanent such as Balor would work, does it even count as a modal spell and if so do I get to pick anything for Riku?

Thank you in advance

YStar27 on what is modal?

2 months ago

i am building i Riku of Many Paths commander deck and want to know what is a modal spell? obviously cards like Simic Charm are modal but what about ones like Aether Channeler? also are planeswalkers and other permanents with multiple abilities considered modal becase they do multiple things?

thanks
