Rulings

Official rulings from Wizards of the Coast (5).

• 2020-04-17Pollywog Symbiote’s first ability applies to creature spells you cast that have mutate even if you don’t cast them for their mutate cost. Similarly, its second ability triggers even if the creature spell with mutate was cast for a cost other than its mutate cost.
• 2020-04-17Effects that reduce the generic mana cost of a spell (such as that of Pollywog Symbiote) can’t reduce that spell’s colored mana requirements.
• 2020-04-17An ability that triggers when a player casts a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
• 2020-04-17Players can cast spells and activate abilities after the triggered ability resolves but before the spell that caused it to trigger does.
• 2020-04-17You draw a card and discard a card all while Pollywog Symbiote’s ability is resolving. Nothing can happen between the two, and no player may choose to take actions.
