Battlefield Thaumaturge's first ability doesn't change that spell's mana cost or mana value. It changes only the amount you actually pay (the “total cost” of the spell).
- WotCApr 26, 2014
Heroic abilities will resolve before the spell that caused them to trigger.
- WotCApr 26, 2014
Heroic abilities will trigger only once per spell, even if that spell targets the creature with the heroic ability multiple times.
- WotCApr 26, 2014
Heroic abilities won't trigger when a copy of a spell is created on the stack or when a spell's targets are changed to include a creature with a heroic ability.
- WotCApr 26, 2014
The cost reduction created by Battlefield Thaumaturge's first ability can reduce only the generic portion of the spell's total cost. Colored mana requirements aren't affected.
- WotCApr 26, 2014
The cost reduction is
per target creature, even if the spell targets a creature more than once.
- WotCApr 26, 2014
To calculate the total cost of an instant or sorcery spell you're casting, start with the mana cost (or alternative cost, if applicable), add all cost increases (including additional costs such as those imposed by strive abilities), then subtract all cost reductions (such as the one created by Battlefield Thaumaturge's first ability).
