Dream Devourer and 0 Cost cards

Asked by Whoodini 1 year ago

[Dream Devourer] gives foretell to all cards in my hand. I foretell [Ancestral Vision] now i can cast it next turn without more delay for 0 mana? Same as cheating out 0 cost cards with [As Foretold] (just checking if [As Foretold] also works this way.

Also - the Q&A section realy needs a search function

Dream Devourer doesn't work but As Foretold does.

Ancestral Vision and friends have empty/nonexistent mana costs, and these kinds of costs can't be paid. The only way to cast a spell with an unpayable cost is to use an alternative cost that's payable or an effect that casts it "without paying its mana cost" (this is why suspend works for the Vision). Dream Devourer gives the card a foretell cost that's still unpayable, [empty cost] - = [empty cost], but As Foretold gives an alternative cost of , which is payable.
