Rulings

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.
12/8/2022	A spell you cast that's blue and red costs less, not less.
12/8/2022	Activating the ability creates a replacement effect that acts like a shield, replacing the next time Nightscape Familiar would be destroyed that turn. This shield works against effects that try to destroy Nightscape Familiar or lethal damage that would be dealt to Nightscape Familiar.
12/8/2022	Nightscape Familiar can regenerate even if it isn't in combat, it's already tapped, or it's undamaged.
12/8/2022	You can activate the regeneration ability even if Nightscape Familiar isn't at risk of being destroyed.
