Create a 4/4 green Beast creature token.
rulings
- 2009-10-01You may ignore a Trap’s alternative cost condition and simply cast it for its normal mana cost. This is true even if its alternative cost condition has been met.
- 2009-10-01Casting a Trap by paying its alternative cost doesn’t change its mana cost or mana value. The only difference is the cost you actually pay.
- 2009-10-01Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a Trap will apply to whichever cost you chose to pay.
