• cr:5.4.4aAn additional-cost ability is a play-static ability that adds one or more asset-costs and/or effect-costs to play the source card. Additional-cost abilities are typically written in the format “As an additional cost to play this [COST],” where COST is the additional cost to be paid. An additional-cost ability is optional if the COST of the ability uses the term “may” and must be declared when playing a card.[5.1.3]
• cr:5.4.4bAn alternative-cost ability is a play-static ability that replaces one or more asset-costs and/or effect-costs to play the source card. Alternative-cost abilities are typically written in the format “You may [COST] rather than pay this’s [BASE],” where COST is the alternative cost to be paid instead of the cards BASE asset-costs and/or effect-costs. Alternative-cost abilities are optional and must be declared when playing a card.[5.1.3] An alternative cost has no effect on any additional costs that must be paid or modifications to the asset-cost.
• cr:5.4.4cIf a play-static ability generates a triggered effect that references the playing of its source, the effect triggers immediately if the trigger condition is met. Triggered effects of play-static abilities are typically written in the format “[EFFECT]. When you do, [ABILITIES],” where the trigger condition is playing the card using the preceding effect of the play-static ability.[6.6]
• cr:5.4.4dIf a play-static ability generates a conditional continuous effect that references the playing of its source, the effect is generated at the time the condition is met. Conditional continuous effects of play-static abilities are typically written in the format “[EFFECT]. If you do, [CONTINUOUSEFFECT],” where the replacement condition is playing the card using the proceeding effect of the play-static ability.
