Title: Dragonlord Silumgar and Icefall Regent
Post by: KillerMartian on October 03, 2016, 12:29:30 AM
I was playing a game with a friend and I played Dragonlord Silumgar and tried to take control of his Icefall Regent. He argued that I had to pay two extra colorless mana to target the Icefall that I didn't have. I said that I don't because the taking control is an ability and not a spell. I was wondering if anyone could clear this up for us.
