Rulings
7 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2004-10-04
Can never affect the colored part of the cost.
- 2004-10-04
If a spell is both green and blue, you pay 1 less, not 2 less.
- 2004-10-04
The generic X cost is still considered generic even if there is a requirement that a specific color be used for it. For example, “only black mana can be spent this way”. This distinction is important for effects which reduce the generic portion of a spell’s cost.
- 2004-10-04
The lower cost is not optional like with some other cost reducers.
- 2004-10-04
The effect is cumulative.
- 2004-10-04
If this card is sacrificed to pay part of a spell’s cost, the cost reduction still applies.
- 2004-10-04
This can lower the cost to zero, but not below zero.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
