Rulings

(10/4/2004)
If a spell is both green and blue, you pay
1
 less, not
2
 less.
(10/4/2004)
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.
(10/4/2004)
This can lower the cost to zero, but not below zero.
(10/4/2004)
The effect is cumulative.
(10/4/2004)
The lower cost is not optional like with some other cost reducers.
(10/4/2004)
Can never affect the colored part of the cost.
(10/4/2004)
If this card is sacrificed to pay part of a spell's cost, the cost reduction still applies.
