What happens if buyback cost is 0 or less
Asked by bbluebaugh 6 years ago
I know the rules state that buyback cannot cost less than 0 but is it possible for them to cost 0? for example Sprout Swarm with Memory Crystal?
The lowest the buyback cost can go is 0. But you still must choose to pay it. In other words, you still have to state you are casting it with buy back.
I have seen someone have Memory Crystal, Emerald Medallion, and Cloud Key naming instants to make millions of saprolings with Sprout Swarm. Cast with buy back becomes just . So cast with buy back tapping forest. Cast again with buy back using the sapproling to pay convoke cost. Repeat any number of times.

You can never have something in Magic cost less than 0. If a reduction would reduce to below, it reduces it to 0 instead.
