  • 2015-02-25

    To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.

  • 2015-02-25

    Dragonlord's Servant can't reduce the colored mana requirement of a Dragon spell you cast.

  • 2015-02-25

    If there are any additional costs to cast a Dragon spell, apply those before applying Dragonlord's Servant and any other cost reductions.

  • 2024-11-08

    Dragonlord's Servant's ability doesn't change the mana cost or mana value of any spell. It changes only the total cost you pay to cast Dragon spells.

  • 2024-11-08

    Dragonlord's Servant's ability can't reduce the amount of colored mana you pay for a spell. It reduces only the generic mana component of that spell.

12 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Dragonlord's Servant — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
