Rulings
-
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.
-
This can lower the cost to zero, but not below zero.
-
The effect is cumulative.
-
The lower cost is not optional like with some other cost reducers.
-
Can never affect the colored part of the cost.
-
If this card is sacrificed to pay part of a spell's cost, the cost reduction still applies.
