Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2010-03-01

    When determining a spell's total cost, effects that increase the cost are applied before effects that reduce the cost.

  • 2010-03-01

    The ability affects the total cost of each nonartifact spell, but it doesn't change that spell's mana cost or mana value. The extra mana also doesn't change how many times you kicked the spell or what the value of X is (if applicable).

  • 2010-03-01

    The ability affects each spell that's not an artifact spell, including your own.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Lodestone Golem

6 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 publishes none for some of them. Click a card's art to chart that version's price above.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Lodestone Golem. It runs a name search across every version, which covers 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.
