Rulings
One official ruling, as Wizards published it.
- 2026-01-27
To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions (such as that of Grounded for Life's first ability). The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
