cr:5.1.6

Contents

• cr:5.1.6aFirst, rules define the starting asset-cost. Second, effects that set an asset-cost are applied. Third, effects that increase an asset-cost are applied. Fourth and finally, effects that reduce an asset-cost are applied - if an effect would reduce an asset-cost to be less than zero, it instead reduces it to zero. If two or more effects are applied at each step, then they are applied in timestamp order.[6.3.4]
• cr:5.1.6bThe action asset-cost starts at zero. If the card has the type action and is not played as an instant, the action cost starts at one instead.
• cr:5.1.6cThe resource asset-cost starts at the base resource cost of a card being played. If an alternative cost is declared that replaces the resource asset-cost for playing the card, then the resource asset-cost starts at zero instead.
