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.

Every version of Sunscape Familiar

2 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.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Sunscape Familiar. 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.
