If I exile All is Dust with a Semblance Anvil and have Eye of Ugin on the field, will my colorless Eldrazi spells cost 4 less to cast now?

Asked by Nightwielder 13 years ago

I'm confused. Are the effects redundant or do they stack?

Well...no, but not for the reason you're thinking.

Semblance Anvil would stack with Eye of Ugin . However. The Anvil notes that "spells you cast that share a type with the exiled card cost 2 less". A card's type is everything on the left of that dash - so artifact, creature, enchantment, instant, land, plane, planeswalker, scheme, sorcery, tribal, and vanguard. (Rule 300.1).

"Eldrazi" is, unfortunately, a card subtype - which is anything on the right side of that dash - and so it doesn't impact the Anvil one way or the other.

In your scenario, you can cast all sorceries for 2 less, all Eldrazi for 2 less, and all Eldrazi sorceries (i.e., just All Is Dust and Skittering Invasion ) for 4 less.

Ohhh gotcha, that makes a lot more sense now. Thanks for clearing that up in a thorough explanation.
