Rulings
Official rulings from Wizards of the Coast (6).
- 2004-10-04The 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.
- 2004-10-04This can lower the cost to zero, but not below zero.
- 2004-10-04The effect is cumulative.
- 2004-10-04The lower cost is not optional like with some other cost reducers.
- 2004-10-04Can never affect the colored part of the cost.
- 2004-10-04If this card is sacrificed to pay part of a spell's cost, the cost reduction still applies.
