Can Tymaret, the Murder King's Activation Cost Be Reduced With Heartstone?

Asked by theindigoeffect 6 years ago

I know there's a restriction printed on Heartstone, so I'm not sure if it's possible.

Are there any other cards that reduce activation costs?

Yes, Heartstone should lower the cost of Tymaret, the Murder King activated abilities by 1 colorless mana. Heartstone states that it can't be less than one.

Note, only Tymaret, the Murder King's first ability is reduced in cost, because it's the only one you can activate while he's a creature. His second ability requires him to be in the graveyard, at which point he's a creature card, not a creature (creature refers to a type of permanent while creature card refers to a card with that type line that is neither on the battlefield nor the stack).

In answer to your second question, the only other card currently is Training Grounds, which has the advantages of a lower CMC and not helping your opponents, but the disadvantages of requiring blue mana and higher price tag for a card you'd only be using half the effect of.

I didn't realize his second ability required him to be in the graveyard, Neotrup is right.
