Rulings

(20/03/2026)
To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as the alternative cost of Daze), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined by only its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast that spell was.


(08/06/2016)
If another effect causes Daze to cost more, you must pay that additional cost even if you pay its alternative cost.
