If an opponent had two or more creatures enter the battlefield under their control this turn, you may pay Blue rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Return two target creatures to their owners' hands.

Rulings:

  • 10/1/2009 You may ignore a Trap’s alternative cost condition and simply cast it for its normal mana cost. This is true even if its alternative cost condition has been met.
  • 10/1/2009 Casting a Trap by paying its alternative cost doesn’t change its mana cost or converted mana cost. The only difference is the cost you actually pay.
  • 10/1/2009 Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a Trap will apply to whichever cost you chose to pay.
  • 10/1/2009 You must target two creatures as you cast Whiplash Trap. If you can’t (because just one creature is on the battlefield, perhaps), you can’t cast the spell.
  • 10/1/2009 You can target any two creatures, not just ones that entered the battlefield this turn.
