Summoning Trap

Zendikar (ZEN) #184 · Rare · Instant — Trap

Mana cost: {4}{G}{G}

If a creature spell you cast this turn was countered by a spell or ability an opponent controlled, you may pay {0} rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Look at the top seven cards of your library. You may put a creature card from among them onto the battlefield. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.

Rulings

  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 — Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a Trap will apply to whichever cost you chose to pay.
  3. 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.
  4. 2009-10-01 · wotc — If there are seven or fewer cards in your library, you'll look at all of them.
