Riftbound Repeat: what it does
GlossaryRepeat is a Riftbound optional-additional-cost keyword on spells and abilities. Paying "Repeat [Cost]" as you play the card lets its effect execute a second time on resolution — the same instructions run twice, back to back, as though the card's text were printed out in full a second time.
How Repeat's extra cost and effect work
Repeat is short for "you may pay [Cost] as an additional cost as you play this — if you do, execute the instructions of this chain item one additional time during resolution." The choices for the second execution — targets, modes, anything the card asks you to pick — are made at the usual point during resolution, and they don't have to match the choices from the first execution.
Multiple instances of Repeat
If a card carries more than one instance of Repeat, each cost can be paid separately, and the effect executes one additional time for every instance that was paid for — but no matter how many times its instructions run, the card is still only considered Played once. See the Game Actions guide for how it fits alongside Riftbound's other optional-cost tools.
