This card is card advantage suicide. I picked it late in a booster draft, after I had a deck very heavy with expensive artifacts and artifact creatures, including a Mindslaver, Darksteel Sentinel and two Argentum Armors. I only had three mana myr, so I figured this anvil would help accelerate me into the big stuff.

Nope, it was an albatross every time I drew it. I can't imagine any limited deck ever using benefiting from this, at least not in this block. After it cost me a match I swapped it and the Sentinel out for two Soul Parry's and finished in the money; I might've won had I not tried to use the anvil.

@EVERYBODY

Here is the official errata on this card from the MTG Scars of Mirrodin FAQ...
Spells you cast that share multiple card types with the exiled card still cost just {2} less to cast. They don't get a greater cost reduction.

no way is the Myr Battlesphere ever going to cost only {1}, lol.

HOWEVER!!!
if you imprint an Artifact Creature, your creature spells, artifact spells, and artifact creature spells all cost {2} less.

I'm surprised only one person has commented on the implications this card has for the Rise of the Edrazi set. Exile any weak, run of the mill creature and there you go: your Eldrazi are now all 2 mana cheaper to cast. And let's not talk multiple Anvils...

to the person saying its not good in an aggro deck, I would disagree, this is pretty much good in almost any deck unless you went out of your way to make a deck crap with this card.

I think it would be cool with tribal, although I'm not sure how much application you would get from that. unless you used changling tribal cards and tribal artifact equipment for near free tribal cards, maybe throw in overbeing of myth as well. but im sure there are way better applications then that

Leaves you vulnerable, but good for combos.

This card's value is extremely underrated. Turn 3, and you can pretty much drop your had in a Myr tribal deck. With a deck that has some card draw integrated, the loss of card advantage shouldn't even be a problem. I have seen this card do some crazy things. 5/5

Just to clarify, this will only work on card types, not creature types or anything of the sort. So any artifact, creature, enchantment, sorcery, instant, legendary, planeswalker, snow, tribal, etc.

I like the idea of potentially making cheap artifacts and artifact creatures 0 to cast. Overpowered? Not at all. Overbalanced? Maybe, lol. It's a decent card at best, imo. 3.5/5

I love this card. I replaced my Urza's Incubators with these and never looked back.

How about using it with Yawgmoth's Will? Yawg's Will is pretty much game anyways, bu if you choose sorcery, Yawg's Will costs a measly Black!

Is it possible to remove the exiled card out from under the Semblance Anvil such as a Misthollow Griffin or any card with flashback using Runic Repetition and still retain the reduced casting cost with the associated types? I received a ruling from a L1 judge but for the sake of verification I was wondering if this works as such or if the card MUST remain exiled to the Anvil.

@Kimall - The effect from cards like Contagion Engine are abilities not spells so Semblance Anvil would not change the activation cost for the Proliferate ability or any other activated abilities.

Seems like a good way to build an enchantment deck that screws the game up. Many of those goofy enchantments cost 5+ mana. Being able to play 1-2 of them on t4 and screw up the game super-badly sounds awesome!

@Ferlord: If there were an Enchantment Creature? You mean like Lucent Liminid?

I'm also pretty sure that if you exiled an Artifact Creature, Artifacts would cost 2 less and Creatures would cost 2 less.

I mean, they'd share a card type with it, and those cards have two types. If there were an Enchantment Creature, both would cost less.

If you were to play another artifact creature, it wouldn't cost 4 less, though.

My question on this card does it also count the spells cast from an artifact card. So contagion engine would it cost 2 or 4 to proliferate?

So I was wondering if i had this out with a creature imprinted and I cast bloodbraid elf for Green Red , would i be able to cascade into something with a CMC of 5 such as sensor splicer ?

This card should be reworded. It is ruled to say 'Card Type' even though it reads as 'Card' Type. Which would mean, according to the English language, any 'Card' type. That means you have to ask what are the card types that it can affect? Well there is the 'super' type, the 'card' type and the 'sub' type

@Kirasword001
Goblin is a creature type, and not a card type. So your goblin creature spells will not be discounted.

This card is alright. Makes for some nice redundancy in a Heartless Summoning deck that needs it.
