Does Training Grounds reduce the cost of Level Up?

Asked by nabby101 13 years ago

Turn 1 Plain, Caravan Escort. Turn 2 Island, Training Grounds, make Caravan Escort a 5/5 first strike for free, attack.

Is this legal? This sounds seriously broken. Perhaps Turn 1 Caravan Escort, Turn 2 Training Grounds, Turn 3 Transcendent Master gg?

So my question basically is, does Training Grounds make all my level-up cards that cost (2) or less free, like Caravan Escort, Coarhelm Commander, and Transcendent Master?

level up is still an activated ability so Training Grounds does work for reducing costs just not the way you want it to. it doesn't reduce colored mana and wont reduce colorless to less then 1. cards that work really well for this include Hedron-Field Purists , Kabira Vindicator , Hada Spy Patrol , Skywatcher Adept , Sphinx of Magosi , Nirkana Cutthroat , Null Champion , and Beastbreaker of Bala Ged . you can also use Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief for 2 free X mana.

there's a lot more in legacy and standard I decided to stick to one set for less confusion and so I wasn't listing over 30 cards.
