Do Collective Restraint and War Tax stack?

Asked by Argy 7 years ago

If I have Collective Restraint on the field and six Islands and six Mountains, and pay + 5 to activate War Tax, does my Opponent have to pay 7 for each attacking Creature?

Yes to all of the above. Nothing suggests that only one cost requirement can be applied at a time, and as with anything else, card effects are applied per card.

508.1g. If any of the chosen creatures require paying costs to attack, the active player determines the total cost to attack. Costs may include paying mana, tapping permanents, sacrificing permanents, discarding cards, and so on. Once the total cost is determined, it becomes locked in. If effects would change the total cost after this time, ignore this change.

508.1h. If any of the costs require mana, the active player then has a chance to activate mana abilities (see rule 605, Mana Abilities).

508.1i. Once the player has enough mana in his or her mana pool, he or she pays all costs in any order. Partial payments are not allowed.
