On incantations and enchantments

[The Dude]

Hello!

I am fairly new to this game and I have a very specific question: Can you cast teleport on yourself? If not, is there a reason?


My second question is, if you quickcast an enchantment, do you always have to pay the facedown and face up cost, even if you are playing the enchantment face up?


Thank you!

Welcome to the forums. Hope you are enjoying the game.

1.  Yes you can cast teleport on your mage.

2.  Yes, you pay the 2 mana to play the enchantment face down. Even if you reveal the enchantment right away you still have to cast it first as shown below.

Taken from page 18 of the 2.0 version of the rule book.

Enchantment Mana Costs
All enchantments have two mana costs on the card. The first cost, next to the closed eye, is the casting cost that you must pay when you cast the spell and play it face down as a hidden enchantment. The casting cost is always two mana.
The second cost, next to the open eye, is the reveal cost, which you may pay when the spell is revealed. When an enchantment is revealed, if the reveal cost is not paid, because you can’t pay it or choose not to, the spell is destroyed immediately without effect.
