Bolas's Citadel + Damping Sphere

Asked by Ziggy101 4 years ago

Bolas's Citadel and Damping Sphere on the battlefield.

Can I still cast cards from the on top of my library and just pay the normal cost of the spell or do I have to pay 1 extra life for the Damping Sphere or will I not be allowed to cast spells from the top of my library anymore because I can't pay additional cost?

Thank you

Damping Sphere imposes a cost increase on your spells, which will apply even if you pay an alternative cost (such as with Bolas's Citadel. You can still cast spells from the top of your library with the Citadel; you'll just have to pay extra mana on top of the life cost depending on how many spells you've already cast that turn.

For instance, if you cast Bone Splinters from your hand and then want to cast Doom Blade from the top of your library using the Citadel, you would pay 2 life plus mana. If you follow that up with a Murder off of your library, it costs 3 life plus mana.
