Modern Masters 2017 (MM3) #18 · Common · Instant — Trap

  1. 2009-10-01 · wotc — Casting a Trap by paying its alternative cost doesn't change its mana cost or mana value. The only difference is the cost you actually pay.
  2. 2009-10-01 · wotc — You may ignore a Trap's alternative cost condition and simply cast it for its normal mana cost. This is true even if its alternative cost condition has been met.
  3. 2009-10-01 · wotc — Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a Trap will apply to whichever cost you chose to pay.
