What is a Madness cost if not shown?
Asked by vasarto77 5 years ago
Anje Falkenrath tells me that the cards I discard have madness. However, it doesn't say what that Madness cost IS and according to the official rules a madness cost cannot be the CMC since it is its own separate cost in the same way that morph or any other special casting method has. Sooo...how do I determine the color mana and amount for this?
OH...I thought I read it as "IT" has madness. Well shoot. I have been reading it wrong this whole time.

As a note, not that it applies to Anje Falkenrath but it could apply with other cards: a card could have a madness cost equal to its mana cost. There is nothing that says it can't. Falkenrath Gorger gives your Vampire creature cards madness, equal to their mana cost. There are also cards that have a madness cost equal to their mana cost, such as Asylum Visitor and Obsessive Search .
It's important to note that a card that grants an alternative cost or similar ability such as madness, flashback, scavenge, etc. will actually tell you what that cost is.

Anje Falkenrath doesn't give cards madness, she has an ability that triggers when you discard a card if it has madness.
