The lower cost is not optional like with some other cost reducers.
wotc4 Oct 2004
The effect is cumulative.
wotc4 Oct 2004
This can lower the cost to zero, but not below zero.
wotc4 Oct 2004
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.
wotc4 Oct 2004
If this card is sacrificed to pay part of a spell’s cost, the cost reduction still applies.
wotc4 Oct 2004
Can never affect the colored part of the cost.
