What it does

You may pay 3 rather than pay this spell's mana cost.

Search your library for up to four basic land cards and reveal them. Put one of them onto the battlefield tapped under an opponent's control if the 3 cost was paid. Put two of them onto the battlefield tapped under your control and the rest into your hand. Then shuffle.

Rulings

5 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2021-04-16

    If an effect increases or decreases the cost of spells you cast, that cost increase or decrease is applied to the alternative cost you chose to pay. In that case, the cost was still paid for the purposes of the effect, even if you paid more or less for it when it was cast.

  • 2021-04-16

    If you choose to pay one alternative cost, you can’t pay any other alternative costs. For example, if an effect lets you cast a “Mastery” spell “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t also choose to pay its given alternative cost.

  • 2021-04-16

    If you copy a “Mastery” spell and the alternative cost was paid, the copy will resolve as though the cost was paid.

  • 2021-04-16

    The mana value of a spell on the stack is determined by its mana cost, not any alternative costs you used to pay for it.

  • 2021-04-16

    In a multiplayer game, you choose which opponent takes the prescribed action as the spell resolves.

Every version of Verdant Mastery

4 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 Verdant Mastery. 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.
