Rulings

3 · latest Feb 5, 2021
  • WotCFeb 5, 2021

    Casting a Rune spell for an alternative cost doesn't change its mana cost or mana value.

  • WotCFeb 5, 2021

    Runeforge Champion's last ability doesn't change when you can cast a Rune spell.

  • WotCFeb 5, 2021

    Runeforge Champion's last ability provides an alternative cost to cast Rune spells. You can't combine this with other alternative costs that may apply. In the unusual case that a Rune spell has additional costs, you can pay those in addition to the {1}. If those additional costs are mandatory, you must pay them in order to cast the spell.
