This is in reference to my deck, Tymaret, the Discard King. Therefore it is a deck-related question.
If anyone has any other suggestions for cards that cheat activation costs, let me know.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if I could actually use Heartstone or not.

Oh and I made a mistake earlier - "Illusionist's Bracers - This copies an activated ability for free, more or less - this is pretty good when using an infinite mana combo." I meant to say that about Rings of Brighthearth.

So to answer your question: Yes. Tymaret's abilities are activiated abilities. Therefore Heartstone reduces the cost of said abilities to and respectively when in play. Heartstone is not reducing the cost of ether abilitiy to less than one mana.
As for other cards that reduce ability costs, you have:
Training Grounds - outside of your commander's colors, but it needs to be mentioned anyway. It's super awesome, and super popular.
Rings of Brighthearth - this is sort of like Heartstone in that you can pay for using an ability again...just at a different cost.
Illusionist's Bracers - This copies an activated ability for free, more or less - this is pretty good when using an infinite mana combo.
Sculpting Steel - you could use this to copy Heartstone -yeah I've pretty much run out of ideas at this point lol.
