Paying for Reality Smasher with Herald of Kozilek
Asked by Xavkul 6 years ago
More specific - Can i use the colorless reduction of Herald of Kozilek to pay for the one mana in Reality Smasher that has to be colorless? Thanks for the help!
In addition, if a card (sort of like Khalni Hydra) would reduce costs by , it can reduce costs by unless it specifically states otherwise (Like Ragemonger).

No you cannot. The reason for this is because Herald of Kozilek reduces the cost of your colorless spells by one generic mana, not one colorless mana.

If the Herald would reduce the colorless component, it would use instead of .
