Spells cost less

[Jroch314]

Ok building an elemental deck for casual play. Got a semi-silly question lol. Say I have lots of elemental warriors in my deck. Does {brighthearth banneret} make them cost {2} less if they are elemental warriors?

only {1}

[Jroch314]

only {1}

Wow that wasn't the answer I expected. Is there maybe an official rule on this? Because logic would lead one to believe that they would overlap, but ik logic doesn't always work in mtg lol

[scarsabrex]

because it is one ability it is only counted once. you would need wording like {grand arbiter augustin iv} to double dip.

same reason why {semblance anvil} with an artifact creature doesn not discount {4} off of artifact creatures.

Yea I understand that. Now rule 702.15g (that makes me feel like a lawyer) states that protection from A and B is shorthand for protection from A and protection from B. I couldn't find a ruling on anything else that states that and I get what you're saying. All the lieges say each color individually. Just clarifying that's all. So I guess the protection from rule doesn't carryover. If it said Elemental spells cost {1} less to play. Warrior spells cost {1} less to play. It would work then??

yes

Sometimes the rules are too vague and the card itself gets a rule clarification.  Check rulings under that card.  It says it only gives a discount of 1.  🔨

If you didn't buck up for rulings in the app, check them on gatherer.

Wow thanks I didn't even know that feature was available on the app. And as always thanks again for the speedy responses.
