Repeat

When do I decide whether to pay for Repeat?Copy Anchor Link

Decide separately whether to pay each Repeat cost while making the relevant choices as you play the spell or ability.^{[355.1.a][400][820.1.c.2][820.1.d]} Each cost can be paid only once.^[820.1.c.3] For every Repeat cost you choose to pay, make any required choices for its additional execution during that same step.^[820.2] Those choices can be the same as or different from the choices for the initial execution.^[820.2.a] After that step, the decisions and choices cannot change unless a spell or ability instructs otherwise.^[355.15]

Opponents cannot respond while you make these choices or pay the costs because finalization does not pass priority.^{[337.1.a][357][405.1]}
