Arcane Melee

Text:

Instant and sorcery spells cost less to cast.

Rulings:

• 5/1/2012 Arcane Melee can’t reduce the colored mana requirement of an instant or sorcery spell.
• 5/1/2012 If there are additional costs to cast a spell, such as a kicker cost or a cost imposed by another effect (such as Thalia, Guardian of Thraben’s ability), apply those increases before applying cost reductions.
• 5/1/2012 Arcane Melee can reduce alternative costs such as miracle costs.
• 5/1/2012 The cost to cast an instant or sorcery spell with one generic mana in its mana cost will be reduced by <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&amp;name=1&amp;type=symbol" alt="1" align="absbottom" />. For example, an instant spell with a mana cost of <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&amp;name=1&amp;type=symbol" alt="1" align="absbottom" /><img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&amp;name=G&amp;type=symbol" alt="Green" align="absbottom" /> would cost <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&amp;name=G&amp;type=symbol" alt="Green" align="absbottom" /> to cast.
