Rulings

6 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2026-03-20

    The maximum number of colors of mana you can spend to cast a spell is five. Colorless is not a color. Note that the cost of a spell with converge may limit how many colors of mana you can spend.

  • 2026-03-20

    If a spell with a converge ability is copied, no mana was spent to cast the copy, so the number of colors of mana spent to cast the spell will be zero. The number of colors spent to cast the original spell is not copied.

  • 2026-03-20

    Unless a spell or ability allows you to, you can't choose to pay more mana for a spell with a converge ability just to spend more colors of mana. Likewise, if a spell or ability reduces the amount of mana it costs you to cast a spell with converge, you can't ignore that cost reduction in order to spend more colors of mana.

  • 2026-03-20

    If there are any alternative or additional costs to cast a spell with a converge ability, the colors of mana spent to pay those costs will count.

  • 2026-03-20

    For each of the hybrid mana symbols in Wildgrowth Archaic's mana cost, you can choose to pay either 2 or . If you choose to pay 2, you can still use green mana to pay for one or both of the generic mana in that cost.

  • 2026-03-20

    If you cast a spell with converge without spending any mana to cast it (perhaps because an effect allowed you to cast it without paying its mana cost), then the number of colors spent to cast it will be zero.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Wildgrowth Archaic — a name search across every version, for 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.
